Job Description Terms of Reference Market study for Income Generating Activities (IGA) Introduction
GIZ - Sustainable Cocoa Initiative Support Programme (SCISP) The Sustainable Cocoa Initiative Support Programme (SCISP), with a co-financing from EU and BMZ, is a visionary and transformative initiative working on numerous aspects of the cocoa supply chain. Among others, SCISP aims at uplifting the livelihoods of cocoa farmers through the introduction of market oriented IGAs. A particular interest lies in cocoa by- products, in the sense of creating added value within the cocoa supply chain. FTA and GIZ have joined hands for setting up a Living Income Project, addressing the longstanding challenge of inadequate income within the cocoa farming community. With the Cocoa Health and Extension Division (CHED), the project has won a strong Governmental partner for this endeavour. The joint Living Income Project seeks to catalyse positive change by diversifying income streams and enhancing economic resilience among the farming population. By diversifying income sources, the Living Income Project aims to reduce the vulnerability of cocoa farmers to market fluctuations, crop diseases, and other risks inherent to cocoa production. Moreover, this diversification enhances the farmers' ability to invest in sustainable farming practices and contribute to the overall development of their communities. Through its multifaceted approach, the project seeks to not only improve livelihoods but also promote a more resilient, sustainable, and prosperous cocoa farming sector that serves as a model for other regions and initiatives. The core objective of the Living Income Project is to empower cocoa farmers to attain a living income – an income that ensures their basic needs are met, including food, education, healthcare, and housing, while also allowing for the ability to invest in their farms and communities. To achieve this, the project takes a holistic approach by promoting diversified income sources alongside cocoa farming.
