Description
The project seeks to develop value chains in the coffee- and cacao-based agroforestry systems while reducing vulnerability to climate change, which is exacerbating environmental degradation and having a direct impact on agricultural activities and the entire value chain. To guarantee the longevity and sustainability of agroforestry systems (“Creole gardens”), the project also seeks to improve producers’ ability to adapt to climate change, encourage the creation of skills to adapt agroforestry to climate change by ensuring training curricula are suitable, and build the governance capacity of local and departmental bodies with regard to climate change adaptation.

Results/Expected Outcomes
The project is expected to increase the value-added of the targeted agri-food value chains, particularly for women and youth, while ensuring the systems are environmentally sustainable and better adapted to climate change.
The project is targeting to create 250 hectares of new plantation, managed by over 800 families and under the leadership of women and young people. The project is also seeking to enhance women’s empowerment and social recognition in the agroforestry sectors.
