World Food Programme Fighting Hunger Worldwide

Ghana is a food-deficit country, but positive economic developments in recent years have led Ghana  to  achieve lower middle-income status. The country is largely on track to achieve Millennium Development Goal 1 – Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger –but is lagging on others. Ghana is ranked 130th out of 169 countries in the 2010 human development index, and has slipped into the “low human development” category.
