Strengthening communities

Most of the world’s cocoa is grown on small family farms. As households struggle, they sometimes feel they have no other option than to use child laborers on their farm.

As tackling and eliminating child labor is a key priority across the cocoa sector, we are working closely with government, civil society and other partners. We take a three-fold approach: prevent, monitor and remediate.

All communities reached with the ACC Sustainability Program, are entitled to receive support from our program. These are tailored to community needs with help of various partners to implement concrete solutions covering topics such as child protection, education, healthcare, nutrition, women’s empowerment and improving access to economic opportunities for women and young farmers.
