COTE D'IVOIRE AND GHANA, RESPECTIVELY, LOST 25% AND 8% OF THEIR PRIMARY FOREST BETWEEN 2002-2019, WITH A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF DEFORESTATION DUE TO COCOA FARMING. AT THE NOVEMBER 2017 UN CLIMATE CHANGE CONFERENCE (COP23), THE GOVERNMENTS OF COTE D'IVOIRE AND GHANA AND LEADING CHOCOLATE AND COCOA COMPANIES SIGNED THE COCOA & FORESTS INITIATIVE FRAMEWORKS FOR ACTION. THE COCOA & FORESTS INITIATIVE (CFI) IS THE FIRST AND LARGEST PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP SPANNING THE COCOA SECTOR. IT INCLUDES 36 WORLD COCOA FOUNDATION (WCF) MEMBER COMPANIES, WHICH ACCOUNT FOR 85% OF GLOBAL COCOA USE.(CONTINUED IN STATEMENT #17) 2467159 SOUTH AMERICA: "COCOAACTION BRASIL", A COLLABORATIVE INITIATIVE LAUNCHED BY LEADING MEMBERS OF BRAZIL'S CHOCOLATE AND COCOA SECTOR IN OCTOBER 2018, IS A TESTAMENT TO THE INDUSTRY'S COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY. THIS INITIATIVE AIMS TO ADDRESS A RANGE OF SUSTAINABILITY ISSUES IN THE COUNTRY'S COCOA SECTOR, INCLUDING INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY, IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF BRAZIL'S COCOA, CONTROLLING PESTS AND DISEASES, IMPROVING FARMERS' LIVING AND WORKING CONDITIONS, STRENGTHENING FARMERS ORGANIZATIONS, AND SUPPORTING SUSTAINABLE FOREST-POSITIVE COCOA PRODUCTION SYSTEMS. THE KEY TO ITS SUCCESS LIES IN ITS COLLABORATIVE APPROACH, WHICH FOSTERS SHARED LEARNING AND UNIFIED ACTION ACROSS THE SUPPLY CHAIN.

THE ACTION PLANS FOCUS ON FOREST PROTECTION AND RESTORATION, SUSTAINABLE COCOA PRODUCTION AND FARMERS' LIVELIHOODS, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, AND SOCIAL INCLUSION. IN 2020, THE COCOA & FORESTS INITIATIVE REPORTED ON THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF IMPLEMENTATION. COCOA AND CHOCOLATE COMPANIES FOCUSED ON TEACHING FARMERS TO GROW MORE COCOA ON LESS LAND, PLANTING FOREST TREES, AND MAPPING FARMS TO UNDERSTAND BETTER WHERE THEIR COCOA COMES FROM. THE FOCUS WAS TO ACCELERATE AND SCALE IMPACT ON THE GROUND BY BUILDING COLLECTIVE ACTION AND CO-INVESTMENT IN PRIORITY LANDSCAPES IN ADDITION TO SUPPLY-CHAIN INVESTMENTS FROM 2018 TO 2022. IN 2023, A SECOND PHASE WITH EMPHASIS ON COLLECTIVE ACTION AND CO-INVESTMENT IN PRIORITY LANDSCAPES HAS BEEN LAUNCHED TO HELP CFI SIGNATORIES ADDRESS THE URGENT NEED TO ACCELERATE THE PROTECTION AND RESTORATION OF FORESTS. IN GHANA, WCF AND COMPANIES WORKED WITH THE GHANA COCOA BOARD (COCOBOD) TO COMPLETE AND PILOT THE COCOA MONITORING SYSTEM (CMS) AS WELL AS DRIVING PROGRESS WITH COCOBOD ON THE AFRICAN REGIONAL STANDARD (ARS) 1000 SERIES. IN COTE D'IVOIRE, PARTNERS WORKED TOGETHER TO TRANSITION THE BOSSEMATIE FOREST FROM A NATIONAL CLASSIFIED FOREST TO A NATIONAL RESERVE, STRENGTHENING CONSERVATION.OVERALL PROGRESS: - $270 MILLION INVESTED BY SIGNATORY COMPANIES OVER THREE YEARS (2021-2023) IN CFI-RELATED PATHWAYS IN GHANA AND COTE D'IVOIRE- 83% OF DIRECT COCOA SUPPLY FROM SIGNATORY COMPANIES IN GHANA AND 82% IN COTE D'IVOIRE IS NOW TRACEABLE TO THE PLOT LEVEL - 43 MILLION MULTIPURPOSE TREE SEEDLINGS FOR AGROFORESTRY DISTRIBUTED SINCE 2018, WITH 130,000 HECTARES OF COCOA AGROFORESTRY DEVELOPED IN 2023 ALONE- 1.22 MILLION TREES WERE DISTRIBUTED FOR OFF-FARM RESTORATION EFFORTS AND 417,000 FARMERS WERE TRAINED OR INFORMED OF FOREST POLICY, PROTECTION AND RESTORATION IN 2023- 1.04 MILLION FARMERS WERE PROVIDED WITH TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO PROFESSIONALISE AND OPTIMISE COCOA FARMING PRACTICES IN 2023 - 323,000 HECTARES WERE PLACED UNDER COMMUNITY BASED NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN 2023 CONTINUATION OF ACTIVITY #2 FORM 990-PF, PART VIII, LINE 2 CURRENT OPPORTUNITIES IN BRAZILIAN COCOA INCLUDE THE COUNTRY'S STATUS AS A LEADER IN THE AREAS OF REFORESTATION AND BIODIVERSITY PRESERVATION BY COCOA THROUGH THE COUNTRY'S AGROFORESTRY AND CABRUCA PRODUCTION MODELS. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SECTOR IN PAR ALSO HOLD PROMISE FOR MODELING MUCH HIGHER FARM-LEVEL PRODUCTIVITY.ALL ACTIVITIES ARE IMPLEMENTED BY ENGAGING MEMBERS AND PARTNERS THROUGHOUT THE SUPPLY CHAIN. THE GOAL IS TO LEAVE A LEGACY OF COLLABORATION AND COLLECTIVE ACTION, SO THAT THE BRAZILIAN COCOA SECTOR CONTINUES TO WORK TOGETHER FOR LONG-LASTING RESULTS IN SUSTAINABILITY. IN 2025, WCF WILL HAVE THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY OF HOSTING ITS ANNUAL PARTNERSHIP MEETING IN SAO PAULO, BRAZIL, CONVENING ALL MEMBERS AND ALLOWING COCOAACTION BRASIL TO TAKE CENTER STAGE.
