GeoPoll Technical Report: Farm Radio International Ghana Rice production in Volta & Maize production in Brong Ahafo regions of Ghana

Farm Radio International (FRI) commissioned GeoPoll to conduct two SMS polls to measure the impact of interactive rural radio (IRR) programming in the Volta and Brong Ahafo regions of Ghana. This report analyses the data gathered during these two SMS surveys. Both of these interventions were part of FRI’s New Alliance Interactive Radio Technologies (ICT) Extension Challenge project funded by USAID in partnership with the Grameen Foundation. The study showed encouraging signs that interactive radio programs had a pronounced effect on the uptake of Scaling Seeds and Technologies Partnership (SSTP) technologies among listeners of the radio stations surveyed versus non-listeners.
