PILLAR 2: BUILDING HOUSEHOLD RESILIENCE
Our aspirational targets
Our 2030 commitments We support all cocoa-farming households in our supply chain to build resilience across infrastructure, climate, business, healthcare and finance 50 .
At least 60,000 households will access 3 of 5 interventions (infrastructure, climate, farming business case), with 20,000 receiving all 5 (incl. healthcare and financial management) following a needs-based approach.
MEASURES TO FOSTER RESILIENCE Interventions focus on financial management, healthcare, infrastructure & developing the farming business case.
Building resilience is essential to enable farmers to withstand climate, economic and household shocks. Climate resilience refers to the capacity to recover from or mitigate vulnerability to climate-related events, such as floods and droughts. 51 For smallholder cocoa farmers, this means being able to cope with weather-related disruptions that affect production, yield and crop quality. Social and economic resilience encompasses the ability of cocoa farmers and their households to manage economic and personal shocks, including national or global recessions, income instability due to fluctuating cocoa prices or yields, and unexpected expenses such as health-related costs. Over the next pages, we outline our plans to support cocoa-farming households in our supply chain to build resilience against economic and household shocks. Climate interventions are covered in detail as part of our updated productivity programme, presented in our Climate, environment and productivity chapter.
