WHY IT MATTERS

Access to education, health services, water and locally relevant development initiatives can support community well-being and strengthen resilience over time.
Supporting opportunities for younger generations is also essential to the future of cocoa farming. Strengthening education, skills development and rural livelihood opportunities can help encourage long-term engagement in cocoa-producing communities.

OUR APPROACH

Transparence Cacao promotes a community-based approach in which local priorities are identified through dialogue with farmers, producer organisations and community stakeholders.
Activities may focus on education, health, access to water, youth engagement and other development priorities identified at local level. The programme also seeks to strengthen opportunities for younger generations, recognising that the long-term future of cocoa farming depends on resilient rural communities capable of attracting and retaining future generations of farmers and entrepreneurs.
Supporting opportunities for younger generations is essential to the future of cocoa farming.
