The CACAO+ project strengthens the climate and economic resilience of cocoa-growing families in the Peruvian Amazon by promoting climate-smart and nature-based practices, zero-deforestation agroforestry systems, and high-performing, inclusive co-operatives, with a particular focus on women’s and Indigenous communities’ leadership.
Socodevi supports the adoption of these sustainable practices, the establishment of responsible agroforestry systems, and the strengthening of associations and co-operatives to offer gender-sensitive, biodiversity-friendly post-harvest services.
The project focuses on creating local value and promoting equality to increase incomes and sustainably improve families’ living conditions.
