This Framework for Action builds on the Statement of Intent launched at the meeting held in London in March 2017, hosted by HRH the Prince of Wales, which mobilised representatives of the Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana governments and the cocoa and chocolate industry. It defines core commitments, verifiable actions, time bound targets and other prerequisites required for a deforestation-free cocoa supply chain
in Cameroon.

The Framework for Action was developed through a multi-stakeholder process that brought together representatives from the Government of Cameroon, private sector, farmers’ organisations, national and international civil society organisations, research institutions, development partners and other stakeholders in Cameroon and at the global level.
