ACDI/VOCA developed the program to cover two broad areas: The Innovation and Investment Incentive (I-3) fund and the Local Partnership Grant (LPG) fund. Of the $5 million, $4 million was allocated to the I-3 fund, which is a flexible financing mechanism to reduce risk associated with investing in new technology and business approaches, foster innovation, leverage resources, and provide incentives to stimulate private sector investment and mitigate constraints in the targeted value chains (VCs) in northern Ghana. The remaining $1 million allocate to the LPG fund enabled the project to engage local NGOs, providers of business development services, trade groups, and other actors to directly provide services to VC actors while building the capacity of local institutions through the grant management process. This study was designed to empirically test the assumption that grants provided incentives for innovation and investment in the value chains promoted by the project. Therefore, the study’s main objective was to assess the extent to which the grants component provided incentives to promote investments and innovation that improve the competitiveness of the project’s commodity value chains. To relate the study’s data and results to the results of the project’s annual surveys conducted to estimate beneficiaries’ yield and gross margins, the study utilized a purposive sampling approach. Thus, the sample was not representative of the variation of grant recipients, rather focusing on recipients of key in-kind grant items such as tractors. The study used a sample
