Kort om projektet
The purpose of our research is to assess whether improvements in gender equality conditions support enhanced climate resilience of cacao farming-dependent households.
Cacao farming plays critical socio-economic and ecological roles in West Africa supporting the livelihoods of millions of families. Cocoa is often deemed as a male-dominated crop and along its value chain. Gender disparities can exacerbate differences in how households and members within a household can cope with a changing climate.
Användare: International, national and local cocoa sector stakeholders, and policy-makers
