Co-funded by Mars Wrigley and the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs the LEAP is an ambitious new programme aiming to address the root causes of market failures which keep Ivorian cocoa farmers in poverty traps. The programme delivers tailored interventions across three key areas: cooperative strengthening; access to finance; and income diversification. The programme will also test and seek to understand which interventions and/or combination of interventions drive farmers closer to reaching a living income in Cote D’Ivoire.
