The global cashew sector is rapidly evolving, and the demand for skilled professionals has never been greater. In response, the Market-Oriented Value Chains for Jobs and Growth in the ECOWAS Region (MOVE-ComCashew) project has launched an online learning academy aimed at building the capacity of stakeholders across the cashew value chain. This initiative, co-funded by the European Union and the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) under the Samoa Agreement and by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), underscores the commitment to fostering sustainable growth and resilience in the cashew industry. By leveraging the power of digital education, e-MOVE is offering a flexible, accessible, and innovative platform to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to drive the sector forward.
The Online learning is implemented as part of the Joint Action “Business Support Facility for Resilient Agricultural Value Chains” co-funded by the European Union under the Samoa agreement with OACPS and by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GIZ.
