Summary
This project, part of a 3-phase funding program by the DFG, aims to foster collaboration between German researchers and institutions in Ghana and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). It will involve workshops, guest visits, and trips abroad. An inception workshop at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) will kick off the project, focusing on exchanging knowledge about innovations in crop-livestock systems in Ghana and DRC. The goal is to identify synergies and opportunities for transferring digital and technical expertise from ATB to partner institutions.
