West African Regional Horticulture Conference: Horticulture for Food, Nutrition, and Livelihoods
The West Africa horticulture conference was organized together with local horticulture experts and other stakeholders to identify on-the-ground challenges and opportunities in the sector. This is to inform specific capacity development activities for stakeholders, including industry experts and leaders. This is also to encourage local engagement and ownership, influencing the sustainability of this work to continue beyond the Horticulture Innovation Lab’s involvement. Thus, contributing to inclusive economic growth and a more resilient system led by the regional experts.
The Horticulture Innovation Lab will focus its efforts in four regions with a country region serving as a hub. This includes West Africa (Ghana), Eastern Africa (Kenya), Asia (Nepal) and Central America (Honduras). It aims to implement locally-led, globally supported programs that will lead to improvement in the horticulture sector.
