This factsheet presents the work of the German Initiative on Sustainable Cocoa. The Initiatives work aimes at improving living conditions, introducing sustainable cropping systems and ending child labour in cocoa farming. The initiative is an example of how MSPs can contribute to achieving SDG 10.
Inequality is increasing around the world, with the gulf between rich and poor widening ever further. This is detrimental for social cohesion within societies.

Multi-stakeholder partnerships can improve structures and introduce change.
