This Community of Practice will bring together key stakeholders to deliberate on findings from recent initiatives aimed at integrating the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) into Swiss legislation. The focus will be on identifying enabling mechanisms to mitigate potential negative impacts of the EUDR on cocoa smallholders in Africa.

The CoP provides a platform to ensure smallholder voices are considered in shaping equitable and effective policy responses, while fostering collaborative advocacy approaches for sustainable cocoa production and trade.

Organizers: African Forest Forum (AFF) & the University of Bern, Switzerland
