Join us as we take a deeper dive into Women in Cocoa – the Hidden Jewels of Chocolate. This presentation will highlight the opportunities and challenges facing women in cocoa across different cocoa origins from Papua New Guinea to Ecuador, Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana. We’ll delve into the Village Saving & Loan Associations in Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana as we focus on how these alliances are formed by women cocoa farmers to use their increasing learnings and monetary opportunities to affect the lives of their children, families, villages, nutrition and sustainability of cocoa. These jewels of chocolate are slowly but surely leaving their mark not only on their villages, but also on the path towards sustainability in the cocoa sector.
