Cocoa, Ghana and Cote d’IvoireThe challenges to address
• Women involved in most stages of cocoa production yet make
less than male cocoa farmers
• In West Africa women do nearly half of the labor on cocoa
farms but own just a quarter of the land.
• Cocoa seen as a “man’s crop” and women typically not valued
for contributions
• Few women farmers are members of cooperatives – can’t
access trainings or resources available to members
• Lack of decision-making power or control over assets
• Time poverty and burden of care
• Lower levels of literacy and
numeracy

WHY DOES IT MATTER
Companies with women
on their boards
financially outperform
their rivals (Joy et al)
If women realise their full
economic potential it will
add $12 trillion to global
growth (McKinsey)
Women represent 70-
80% of consumer
spending (Forbes, 2015)
Gender equality is key to
ending poverty (United
Nations)
In the UK, only 18% of Ex-
Co positions are filled by
women and at one level
below this only 25% of
roles are filled by women
(KPMG Cracking the
Code, 2016)
In 2015 only half of the
world’s working age
women were in the
labour force
53% of women believe
that “ad campaigns
have a strong influence
on how women are
perceived in society”
Approximately 70% of
people in national
minimum wage jobs are
women

Why it is so important to empower women cocoa farmers
…women work hard as farmers too (as well as looking after their children and homes) and have the right to benefit equally with men
…women cocoa farmers are particularly involved in the stages of cocoa farming that ensure the cocoa quality
…women invest their income in their families, the household and the communities, which helps communities thrive

How Kuapa Kokoo and Divine have worked to empower women
• Ensuring women are represented at all levels of the organisation
• Encouraging women to start women’s groups in their villages – to offer mutual support, and share knowledge
• Ensuring women cocoa farmers have equal access to all training and education opportunities, farming equipment and inputs
• Giving women unprecedented opportunities to speak about their lives to audiences all around the world
• Ensure women can really benefit from all the above – running literacy and numeracy programmes to give women the skills and confidence to stand up and be heard, and take an active role in their organisation
• Learning loops - Continually learning and improving and sharing to maximise impacts for women

Women empowered to make a better world
• Given an equal opportunity, women make positive contributions to their families, their communities, their businesses and their nations
• Around the world women are overcoming prejudice and fear to speak out and claim their rights – and offer their valuable contribution
• Equality is better for everybody – inequality is bad for everyone
• Achieving gender equality is one of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals – business and governments need to sign up
