Abstract :
Knowledge plays a key role in the success of development policies. It is a key asset used by
individuals, corporations, governments and international bodies in achieving both competitive and
comparative advantage. The Planting for Food and Jobs agricultural policy was implemented to
create job opportunities, promote food security, and socio-economic growth after failure of several
agricultural policies in Ghana. A desk review reveals that through Knowledge Management, food is
now available in export volumes and the country has begun exporting cereal grains and plantain to
neighboring West African countries. The government of Ghana through the learning of outcomes
have shown the commitment to address the few challenges of the programme which include the
establishment of warehouses and buffer stock companies. It had been recommended that the policy
implementation framework should be redesigned to promote active youth and women participation.
