Call for Proposal at the World Cocoa foundation

Cocoa is a strategic crop for farmers and the economies in West Africa; over 2 million rural families depend on it for their livelihoods. However, their productivity is low as a result of a number of factors including the non-application of good agricultural practices (GAP) for cocoa growing. The World Cocoa Foundation’s African Cocoa Initiative (WCF/ACI) plans to strengthen capacity of the extension staff of the Tree Crop Units/ADPs to deliver efficient extension services to cocoa farmers in Oyo and Kogi States.
