Titel: Building financial and organizational strengths of cooperatives

In 2021, Rebuild Facility provided a returnable grant to Cayat, a Rainforest Alliance (RFA) certified farmer cooperative in Adzope, Côte d'Ivoire. The returnable grant was aimed at boosting Cayat cooperative’s resources to expand its agroforestry efforts and become an independently financed organization.

This case study, focused on Côte d'Ivoire, shares how cocoa cooperative Cayat expanded on its agroforestry efforts and improved farmer confidence in the cooperative, thanks to the Rebuild Facility. This case study also reflects on the need for capacity building and institutional independence to enable cooperatives to fully benefit from certification.
