Implementation of Cocoa Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in West Africa. Final Technical Report

Abstract

This project evaluated and disseminated outputs from previous DFID-CPP - funded projects on cocoa IPM in a farmer participatory training and research programme carried out in four West African countries in collaboration with the Sustainable Tree Crops Programme (STCP). It was implemented in partnership with STCP. Research activities included the development of a tailor-made farmer participatory learning curriculum for the extension of cocoa IPM in West Africa. The project played a major role in facilitating the start-up phase of Farmer Field School (FFS) activities and contributed a range of technical IPM bulletins and field guides, for use by farmer facilitators and master trainers
