Summary:The Ghanaian cocoa sector made important strides towards climate-resilience under COCOBOD leadership. Exposure maps were combined with exposure gradient specific CSA practices in a national training manual of obligatory use for all public and private extension targeting the 800,000 cocoa farmers in the country.
