Advisor of the United States president, Ivanka Trump, is in Ivory Coast on the second-leg of her two-nation trip to Africa. As part of her immediate engagements on arrival (April 16), she met with Ivorian Vice-President Duncan and top government officials. During the meeting, the Ivorian Education Minister signed an order operationalizing a unit prioritizing women access to empowerment training and girl’s access to education. In a tweet about her trip, she spelt out the impact – positive and negative – that women make yet suffer in the cocoa sector. Accompanied by a government official, a visibly excited Ivanka is seen interacting with women on a cocoa farm.
