• Research unit: SECO
• Project number: 2025-WEHU229

Short description (English)

The Sustainable Cocoa Production Program (SCPP), implemented in Indonesia from 2012 to 2020, aimed to reduce poverty, enhance productivity, and foster sustainable practices in the Indonesian cocoa sector. With support from the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and private sector partners, the program trained over 165,000 farmers and introduced innovations in traceability, certification, and farmer capacity building. This ex-post evaluation reflects on the program’s long-term impact, sustainability, and relevance, while offering lessons for replicability. Specifically, it assessed the extent to which these interventions have resulted in sustained: 1. Reduction in poverty in the Indonesian cocoa sector. 2. Mitigation of GHG emissions in cocoa farming practices. 3. Continuity of SCPP interventions—including tools, methodologies, and activities.
