    Addressing the Gendered Impacts of Food Price Volatility in Ghana: Policy Options for Nutrition and Food Security
    (AERC, 2025) Ofori, Isaac K.; Asmah, Emmanuel E.; Nsiah-Asamoah, Christiana N.
    Food price volatility is undermining food security and nutrition in Ghana and requires immediate policy intervention (Ofori, Asmah & Nsiah-Asamoah, 2025). Climate shocks, global market disruptions, and exchange rate instability are driving food inflation and worsening food insecurity (von Grebmer et al., 2024; FAO, 2023). Female-headed households are hit hardest because they lack equal access to land, credit, inputs, and social protection. The government must act by tightening market stabilisation measures, investing in climate-resilient food systems, strengthening exchange-rate and import management policies, and expanding gender-responsive social protection and financial services to reduce these vulnerabilities.
