Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO, The Sustainable Trade Initiative IDH,
the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and five Private Sector
Companies from the cocoa sector for the duration from 2012 – 2015. The Program
works directly with 60,000 cocoa farming households in six Indonesian Provinces
to improve farm productivity and livelihood conditions.
As
the Program is continuously growing and SCPP is determined to deliver high
quality output achievements and simultaneously reviews interventions, training
manuals, and teaching material, the program identifies the need to add a
specific unit to undertake research, content development, and intervention
design and provide supports to the program implementation unit.
