Twin: Securing forest community livelihoods through sustainable smallholder cocoa development

While world cocoa prices are rising cocoa farmers living on the edge of the Gola rainforest in Sierra Leone are leaving their farms and adopting farming practices which drive deforestation to feed their families.As a result of the civil war farmers can't access the information, training and inputs they need leading to lower yields, a reputation for poor quality and prices significantly below the market rate resulting in reduced incomes.Using a tried and tested approach this project aims to build the capacity of local partners to provide services which increase productivity and quality; build a strong producer organization; and establish a Gola cocoa brand in the international market.
