ESOKO was honored to participate in the 4th Gender and Rural Advisory Services (GRAS) Forum Meeting, organized by CABI through its PlantwisePlus Programme, in collaboration with the Women in Agricultural Development Directorate (WIAD) and the Directorate of Agricultural Extension Services (DAES) under the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA), held at Capital View Hotel, Koforidua, 4th – 6th November 2025.

The three-day event brought together key stakeholders from the agricultural sector to engage in meaningful dialogue on advancing gender responsiveness within Ghana’s agricultural and rural advisory systems.

Representing ESOKO, Emmanuella Rockson Ocran, joined participants in reviewing the progress made since the establishment of the GRAS Forum in 2022 and in exploring strategies to institutionalize and sustain gender-inclusive advisory services beyond 2026.

The forum provided a rich platform for collaboration, learning, and advocacy reaffirming ESOKO’s commitment to leveraging digital innovation to promote inclusivity, equity, and empowerment in agriculture.
