Innovative projects with long-term impact
Joint projects of the members of the association aim to concretely promote sustainability in the countries of origin of cocoa. These projects are co-financed by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) to strengthen the partnership between the public and private sectors.
The Swiss Platform for Sustainable Cocoa's Roadmap 2030 serves as an orientation framework for the projects. As part of its strategy to promote public-private partnerships, SECO is providing a total amount of CHF 13 million for the years 2023 to 2026, divided in the following three areas:
"Sustainable Sourcing Landscape Projects" (CHF 10 million): These projects encourage members of the Cocoa Platform to work with a variety of local actors and international organisations from different sectors and address challenges such as deforestation or child labour in a holistic way, rather than focusing only on their own supply chain in the cocoa sector.
“Innovative Value Chain Projects” (CHF 2 million): Projects under the umbrella of the Innovation call for proposals shall support innovative value chain projects proposed by members that contribute to a sustainable cocoa sector and measurably improve the livelihoods of cocoa farming households.
“Peer Learning & Collaboration” (CHF 1 million): Projects of the Peer Learning & Collaboration call for proposal shall foster peer learning, knowledge transfer and common approaches through joint undertakings with members of the Swiss Platform for Sustainable Cocoa and international partners.
