Post-harvest technology has emerged a key aspect of competitiveness strategies. The goal of the USAID-funded TIPCEE project is to increase the export competitiveness of Ghana's private sector in world markets; strengthening the capacity of the private sector to respond to market demands represents a key project component. IBI provides technical assistance to value chain development for mangoes emphasizing high adoption rates for harvesting, grading, sorting, packaging, pre-cooling, and equipment configuration technologies. IBI also assisted the Ghanaian government to develop an ICT policy and regulatory environment for communications that facilitates access to communications for the private sector. IBI consultants conducted research and proposed policy to address the lack of enforcement of anti-competition policies, improper pricing of access to bandwidth and infrastructure, and management of frequency spectrum regimes.
