Didier Baleguel (YIF) and Valentine Fombin (MINADER) spent one week in Ghana learning and sharing experiences on outreach methods, data analysis, and planning for collection and safeguarding of obsolete pesticides and empty containers. The hospitality and helpfulness were sincerely appreciated and the Cameroon project would welcome the chance to host their Ghana colleagues if this were possible in the future.
