SUMMARY:ISCO Learning Network II Fighting Swollen Shoot Disease: Where do we stand?
DESCRIPTION:“Fighting Cocoa Swollen Shoot Disease: Where do we stand?” \nThursday\, March 19th\, 2026\, I 13:00 – 14:30 CET \nOn behalf of the ISCO Learning Network\, GISCO is organising the webinar on “Fighting Cocoa Swollen Shoot Disease: Where do we stand?”. \nThe impact of the plant disease Cocoa Swollen Shoot Virus Disease (CSSVD) on cocoa production in West Africa is becoming increasingly significant. For years\, scientists\, politicians and companies have warned consequences of the disease for the cocoa sector. The issue has repeatedly been discussed at international forums and sector events\, underlining the urgency of coordinating action. \nThis webinar will provide insights into the current situation and ongoing efforts to combat CSSVD from political\, scientific\, and practical perspectives: \n\nPolitical perspective: Alex Assanvo – Executive Director\, Côte d’Ivoire–Ghana Cocoa Initiative (CIGHCI)\nScientific perspective: Dr. George Ameyaw – Head of Plant Pathology\, Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana (CRIG)\nPractical Implementation: Dr. Françoise Gogbé – Phytopathologist\, Côte d’Ivoire‘ National Centre for Agronomic Research (CNRA)\nPractical Implementation: Leticia Yankey – Director Cocoa Mmaa Cooperative in Ghana\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the Learning Network \nThe ISCOs are the National Initiatives on Sustainable Cocoa in Europe that bring together governments\, the private sector\, civil society and research to advance sustainability\, improve farmers‘ livelihoods\, and address shared challenges in the cocoa sector. The Learning Network has been created to foster more strategic and collaborative learning across the ISCO community. It builds on experience of the former working groups and provides a new framework for joint exchange through regular meetings\, events and the development of shared knowledge products.
