Transaid in Ghana: Female Market Trader Project

From 2006 - 2008, Transaid worked with a Female Market Traders Cooperative in Accra, Ghana to support the development of their own controlled transport system to get their goods to market. The aim of the project was to improve livelihood opportunities and social conditions for the Female Market Traders by giving them access to safer and more affordable transport . The lack of an efficient transport service that meets the needs of women traders reduces their profits, increases their working hours and exposes them to unnecessary risks.
