The Ukrainian agrohub, established in Ghana under the Food from Ukraine initiative, has delivered humanitarian aid to refugees affected by the floods in Accra, according to the website of the Ministry of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture of Ukraine.
According to the ministry’s publication on Friday, the handover ceremony took place on July 8 with the participation of the Embassy of Ukraine in the Republic of Ghana and the Ghana Refugee Board, the authority responsible for refugees and asylum seekers.
"The humanitarian initiative was implemented by the ‘Ridne’ Consortium (Ridne Humanitarian Food Hub in Ghana) in partnership with the Ukrainian community in Ghana.
