COUNTRY ACTIVITES

STCP PILOT PROJECTS

Currently, a series of STCP pilot projects are beginning in West Africa; three pilot project sites have been identified in Côte d'Ivoire, and one in each of the other four countries (Cameroon, Ghana, Nigeria, and Liberia). The objective of these pilot activities is to compare, test, and validate different approaches and interventions to develop sustainable and integrated cocoa production systems, and to concurrently address child labor concerns in a coherent and systematic way. The ultimate goal of these pilot activities is to improve the rural livelihood of cocoa producers in West Africa by improving their ability to respond to the demands of global markets.
