The Gender and Cocoa Livelihood Toolbox

This gender assessment tool was developed as part of the World Cocoa Foundation’s Cocoa Livelihoods Program (CLP). Within CLP, twelve cocoa companies have committed to improving outreach to gender. The tool recognizes the importance of mainstreaming gender at the organizational level in order to implement field activities that both effectively reach women and meet their needs. Based on field research in Cote d’Ivoire, it details an adaptable step-by-step process to conduct an organizational gender assessment.
