These initiatives aim to improve access to nutritious and affordable food sources. No empirical results are presented; instead, this study employs a qualitative analysis to explore existing literature and propose an analytical model for future research. A comprehensive theoretical framework is essential to guide the design and evaluation of future urban food security initiatives in Accra. Urban policymakers should prioritise community-based interventions, strengthen market ties with local producers, and integrate nutrition education into programmes to enhance their impact on reducing food insecurity.
