General EC2022SIN339A103 01/09/2022 - 31/08/2024 Ecuador is the leading exporter of cocoa beans in the Americas, moreover, is the leading producer and exporter of fine cocoa with a market share of up to 50% of the global fine cocoa production. Despite this, the fine cocoa production is reducing in comparison to the farmed area by a variety considered as bulk cocoa, CCN51. In addition, climate change is already affecting food security through increasing temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and greater frequency of some extreme events. Therefore, is important to increase the value of…

The EMPURECO project aims to empower the refugee and host communities in two selected settlements (Nakivale and Rhino Camp) in becoming climate resilient. A multi-actor approach targets the engagement of citizens, governmental, non-…
