The production under a dynamic agroforestry approach can increase significantly the productivity of their cocoa plantations. Training and a longer conceived consultancy to the producers are needed, resulting in the medium term to an increase in income.
The Arriba and other CNA varieties would thus be more attractive and potentially more profitable to producer families. The objective of the project is to “Improve the quality of life of 800 cocoa producers, through a dynamic agroforestry approach with cocoa as a valid and effective option to increase income and revitalize the national cocoa “Arriba” production”.
In order to achieve the proposed objective, it is planned to consider the following criteria:

• Establishment of a counselling program under the Cooperative UNOCACE to promote the cultivation of Cacao Nacional “Arriba” in dynamic agroforestry  systems with the support of ECOTOP
• Work with a systemic approach, which considers sustainability, impact, outreach and the achievement of an increment of actors and functions starting from a defined territorial approach, promoting the economic development through strengthening and articulating both private and public actors.
• Promote the empowerment of UNOCACE and its organisations, supporting development processes that promote their active and permanent participation – improvement of governance through the development of capacities.
• Support improvements in the performance of small producers, facilitating access to financial services, non-financial services and productive infrastructure in order to generate income and employment.
