Our Action Plan

Sustainable Tree Crops Programme

The Sustainable Tree Crops Programme, supported by us and others, helps farmers in West Africa to earn more from their cocoa crop. Over a period of nine months, farmers learn how to improve cocoa yields. They’re helped to organise themselves so that they can join together and earn a better price for their cocoa harvest. They also learn about HIV/AIDS and malaria prevention. Unicef statistics show that Côte d’Ivoire has the highest HIV prevalence in West Africa, with an estimated 480,000 people living with HIV, out of a population of 18,300,000. That’s over 1 in 40.
