We learned on our 8-year journey of empowering women, that they are a catalyst for change and amplify the impact of our program. Based on CARE International’s recommendations in their report ‘Women’s leadership in Cocoa Life communities’ we will further strengthen interventions that has been identified as working well and include new actions to empower women across our program at scale. This publication is our evolved approach on women’s empowerment as a cross-cutting theme for Cocoa Life.
