Situation
The cocoa value chain is a complex chain, influenced not only by interacting and dynamic biophysical aspects (cocoa productivity, climate change, deforestation), but also by socio-economic aspects (farmer livelihood strategies, including child labour) as well as policy and governance (markets and trade, legislation in producing and importing countries). The design and use of the game in Cameroon as a dialogue support tool and to build future scenarios for the supply chain will create common understanding across stakeholders about the complex drivers of change at play in the supply chain, build consensus on the bottlenecks and support joint strategy development between the participants. Such games have demonstrated their capacity to empower local communities to anticipate future transformations of the supply chain, improving their adaptive capacities and their resilience to surprises.
