FIRCAM

Country: Cameroon

Our FIRCAM project (FIRCAM: building the Financial Resilience of Cameroonian cocoa farmers) is providing training for 1,300 farmers on better agricultural, social and environmental practices, setting up an agri-input loan fund, establishing cocoa nurseries and launching 10 VSLA-GALS groups with a focus on women empowerment.
