What Our Clients Say

Trusted by Leaders Across Ghana’s Agricultural Sector

STRED demonstrated exceptional capability in mobilizing and strengthening farmer cooperatives. Their systematic approach to institutional development and deep understanding of local contexts resulted in some of the most sustainable cooperatives we have supported. They consistently delivered results that exceeded our expectations.

Rick Ody

Former Country Director, TIPCEE-USAID Ghana

STRED’s contribution to our agricultural policy development has been invaluable. Their CEO – Dr Ayenor’s research and field experience informed key sections of our Coordinated Programme of Economic and Social Development Policies 2017 -2024 and the revised version from 2021 – 2025. They understand both the theoretical frameworks and practical realities of cooperative development in Ghana.

Late Dr. Kodjo Mensah Abrampah

Former Director General, National Development Planning Commission (NDPC)

Working with Dr. Godwin K. Ayenor (STRED’s CEO) on the pilot Purchase for Progress initiative in Ghana (2007 -2008) was highly productive. Their ability to link smallholder farmers to institutional markets while building sustainable cooperative structures was impressive. The farmers they worked with consistently met our quality and quantity requirements.
