This presentation summarizes the goals and objectives of the Sustainable Cocoa Forum which was founded in June 2012 in Berlin. It is a joint initiative by the German Government, civil society and the German private sector. The initiative’s secretariat is provided by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). The forum aims to improve the living conditions of cocoa farmers and at the same time guaranteeing supply of raw materials and preventing low yields, poor production methods and high post-harvest losses for the confectionery industry. The German Government, the Association of the German Confectionery Industry (BDSI), the Federal Association of the German Retail Grocery Trade (BVL) and individual companies have pledged funds to finance the forum up until the end of 2014. After that, the initiative is to become self-funding through membership fees.
