What is the Income Accelerator Program?

It is an innovative family-centred approach that is aiming to close the gap to a living income and reducing child labour risks. By rewarding through cash incentives both heads of the households, we are looking at the family and placing greater value on women as agents for positive change.

Our impact so far

We delivered the first progress report on the income accelerator program pilot, which engaged with 1000 cocoa-farming families. As we scale up the program to reach more families, we will continue to share updates on our impact and challenges. You can access these updates in the progress reports via the link below. The measurement and evaluation of the program is completed independently by KIT Institute.
