Indigenous People and Cocoa in Papua - Masyarakat Asli Papua dan Kakao

Program pengembangan kakao ini berlokasi di Provinsi Papua yang kegiatan dan target group tersebar di beberapa daerah seperti Kota Jayapura, Kabupaten Jayapura, Sarmi dan Keroom. Sasaran program pengembangan rantai nilai kakao ini dimulai dari pembibitan, budidaya, paska panen hingga perdagangan baik lokal hingga ekspor. Konteks inklusif ekonomi dalam program ini adalah melibatkan masyarakat lokal (indigenous people) dalam prosesnya, sebagian besar area sasaran berada didaerah transmigrasi sehingga melibatkan masyarakat lain. Selain itu ekosistem pasar dibangun secara bertahap dengan melibatkan pihak swasta sehingga produk kakao bisa secara reguler dijual. Dalam prosesnya program ini berjalan berkesinambungan hingga saat ini dan melibatkan banyak kelompok tani (the bottom of pyramid).
