This Thursday, August 12, the first meeting of the members of the <\/span>Cocoa, Forests and Diversity Agreement.<\/a> This space was used to report on the coordination and first actions that the Coalition for Sustainable Production has carried out in the implementation process. 
<\/span><\/p>\n

During the meeting Fabiola Mu\u00f1oz, Coordinator of the Coalition for Sustainable Production, emphasized the importance of the research component of the agreement as a tool to generate evidence for decision making for the private and public sectors. \"The forests and diversity agreement is one of the Coalition's most important milestones. This is a work that is focused on joining efforts, learning from each other and generating synergies\". <\/span><\/p>\n

The work process of the <\/span>agreement<\/a> seeks to contribute to the development of the cocoa production chain under a low-emissions approach. Mu\u00f1oz stressed that the process must be clear on the importance of scientific evidence to make better decisions in the public and private sectors. <\/span><\/p>\n

Among the agreements and next steps are the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Implementation plan:<\/b><\/span> This plan will be led by the organization Solidaridad<\/a>.<\/span>  <\/span>This technical team will contact all members of the Agreement to gather expectations and recommendations.  <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Traceability plan:<\/b><\/span> The organization Proforest<\/a> is conducting a pilot, in alliance with Acopagro, to adapt the SEP (Sustainable Engagement Platform) platform for self-analysis and information to manage deforestation risk at the farm\/producer level. The possibility of other cooperatives and companies joining the pilot is open. <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Pilot implementation at the jurisdictional level: <\/b>The consortium formed by Earth Innovation Institute<\/a>Earthworm and Helvetas are designing a jurisdictional sustainability pilot in Tocache, San Martin based on the cocoa value chain. The work consists of mapping and involving stakeholders, designing a shared vision and action plan, and identifying investment opportunities for 3 organizations or companies in the area linked to cocoa.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Technical facilitation: <\/b>Solidaridad will assume the technical facilitation of the Agreement by providing resources for a team to lead the dialogue, coordination of actions and mobilization of resources for a period of two years. CIAT - Bioversity offered support to add resources to carry out dialogues on reference year, monitoring and operational definition of deforestation-free.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
