The first part of the report focused on the southern and middle clusters. The scope of the Cosmetics and Personal Care Products (CPCP) CDS was preceded by a complete Value Chain Analysis (VCA) of the sector. The diagnostic assessment was to validate the issues identified from the VCA. The CDS covered two selected clusters (i.e. cosmetics products production and black soap processing) within the middle and southern belts of Ghana.
