In Ghana, a workshop took place in November to explore the country's experience, preparation, and challenges towards meeting the requirements of the proposed EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D). It took place in the framework of value chain pilot projects on designing and implementing accompanying measures to the EU corporate sustainability due diligence directive. The pilots are being directly implemented in Ghana, Ethiopia, Uganda, and Eswatini and indirectly implemented in the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Brazil and Peru through a partnership with the Latin American and Caribbean Network of Fairtrade Small Producers and Workers (CLAC). The process promotes collective and individual action and co-investment, through ITC’s Alliances for Action approach. Key goals are to co-create a space for value chain dialogue and to define commonly agreed value chain-based action plans around human rights and environmental due diligence.
