This report is the outcome of a desk research to assess the nutritional status and underlying causes among cocoa farming families in Ghana commissioned by the Sustainable Trade Initiative for their programme on the Cocoa Learning and Innovation Programme (CLIP).
The goal of the desk research was to identify primary nutritional deficiencies, causes of malnutrition and barriers to improved nutrition through desk research of existing information, reports from partners, research institutions, local governments and the health and agricultural sector. This desk research provides a foundation for further research in order to design a scientific, fact-based prototype.
