ECASARD is an ecumenical association arising from the Christian principles through its initial roots of the churches development projects. ECASARD was established in 1991 and is effectively operational in 11 regions of Ghana: Savannah; Bono East; Bono; Ahafo; Ashanti; Eastern; Western North; Western; Volta; Central; and Greater Accra Regions. However, members from the other regions: Oti; Northern; North East; Upper East, and Upper West are welcome to affiliate with ECASARD.

ECASARD builds the capacity of its network membership organizations of small scale producers to adopt participatory approaches and promote Sustainable Agricultural and Rural Development technologies and income generating activities. We focus on scalable interventions which can influence agricultural policy favorably through advocacy and lobbying.
