Project Background

Oxfam is implementing the Sustainability and Value Added in Agricultural Supply Chains project in Ghana's main cocoa-producing regions. This project is being jointly implemented by Oxfam and coordinating members of the Ghana Civil Society Cocoa Platform (GCCP), including SEND Ghana and ECOCARE. The project also coordinates closely with consortium partners Fern and INKOTA.

The project aligns with key sustainability initiatives such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, ensuring that cocoa farmers' voices are included in governance and regulatory decisions.

At Oxfam Ghana, this project sits under the Just Economic Systems portfolio, working to maximize sustainable practices and value addition in agricultural supply chains.
