We are seeing an overall increase in the number of farmer households living in poverty. While this is worrying, it is not surprising – given inflation and rising prices. Especially now that the indicator for food insecurity has gone up, too. We have now adjusted the way we calculate the higher price we pay for cocoa to take the increased cost of living into account. Since we started measuring the MPI, we have seen some interesting data trends
as a result of certain unexpected circumstances – like the pandemic. Some improvements over time include increased access to electricity in both Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire, and increased access to safe drinking water in Côte d’Ivoire. Good healthcare coverage has become available in both countries since 21/22. In 22/23, we will have the fifth consecutive year of MPI assessment, which means that we will publish a bigger report looking at MPI developments over time. The results of the MPI inform community development plans at partner cooperatives, which are funded by the Chocolonely Foundation. Over time the Chocolonely Foundation has contributed to many new school construction projects, so it is great to see an upward trend in school attendance. And after having funded the construction of toilet blocks, it is encouraging to see that the sanitation indicator has significantly improved over the past 4 years.
Tony’s Chocolonely invests 1% of its turnover into the Chocolonely Foundation annually. Get in touch for more information about the Chocolonely Foundation and how you can contribute to be able to make claims in the context of MPI indicators.
