With a total budget of USD 227.5 million, which includes a USD 27.5 million contribution from the GoG through COCOBOD, the project encompasses four primary components: 1. Institutional Strengthening and Value Chain Governance 2. Enhancing Tree Crop Productivity and Climate Resilience 3. Support for Post-Harvest Management, Value Addition, and Market Access 4. Project Coordination, Management, Monitoring, and Evaluation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe project aims to achieve significant outcomes, such as increased yields and value addition for target tree crops, improved climate adaptation strategies, and substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It said the TCDP would also implement protective measures to address child labour and promote gender equity in the agricultural workforce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe TCDP will be rolled out in eleven districts across six regions of Ghana, carefully chosen for their potential to maximize impact. The targeted areas include: \u2022 Cocoa: Western North\u2019s Essam and Adabokrom, and Asamankese in the Eastern Region. \u2022 Cashew: Bole and Sawla-Tuna-Kalba in the Savannah Region, Wenchi and Tain in the Bono Region, and Techiman Municipal and Techiman North in the Bono East Region. \u2022 Coconut: Upper West Akim and Suhum in the Eastern Region, and Rubber in Upper West Akim,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1106273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-11-111542.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"617\" height=\"787\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1106272\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-11-111603.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"623\" height=\"793\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>#CitiVerify<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Click on the link to join the\u00a0\u00a0<span class=\"google-anno-t\">Citi Newsroom<\/span>\u00a0channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0<em>https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<p><strong>No spam, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Government of Ghana (GoG), in partnership with the World Bank, is set to launch the Ghana Tree Crop Diversification Project (TCDP) on Thursday, November 14, 2024, in Accra.
