Sustainable Coconut (Oil) Production at Scale - Supporting Sector Transformation
Since 12 July 2021, Barry Callebaut, Cargill, FrieslandCampina, JDE Peet’s, Nestlé, Procter & Gamble, and Unilever, together with GIZ, have been implementing the development partnership “Towards a Sustainable Coconut (Oil) Production at Scale – Supporting Sector Transformation in the Philippines”. The project aims to improve the sustainability of coconut (oil) production in key areas of the Philippines and is implemented in close cooperation with the Department of Agriculture’s Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) and the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI).
As the project reaches its midpoint, a Midterm Review (MTR) is required by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The MTR will assess achievements to date, identify key lessons learned, and provide recommendations for the remaining project period and future cooperation. The findings may inform potential re-steering for the final implementation phase and beyond. The review process involves all project team members and main stakeholders and will be conducted according to OECD/DAC Criteria and Capacity WORKS standards.
