International Cocoa Initiative

International Cocoa Initiative

The [International Cocoa Initiative] is a unique partnership of concerned companies, labour unions and NGOs, and works to help sensitise communities on issues of child labour, hazardous work practices and international laws, through local NGO partners. We also stimulate them to share their concerns and help them develop their own plans to address issues such as poor education provision and better cocoa farming. The objective is to support the changes in practices that will overtime eliminate child labour in the sector.
