Cocoa production is severely impacted by climate change: harvest campaigns are disrupted and delayed, and crops are sometimes damaged. In just one century, 90% of the forests in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire have disappeared, replaced by agricultural land, primarily for cocoa and cashew cultivation. This has impoverished the soil, weakened ecosystems, and exacerbated the impacts of climate change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Therefore, Advans C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire is firmly committed to supporting initiatives aimed at promoting environmentally friendly and socially responsible agriculture that enable farmers to better adapt to the challenges of climate change. In 2023, Advans C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire signed a partnership with the Equit\u00e9 2 Program, represented by Agronomes et V\u00e9t\u00e9rinaires Sans Fronti\u00e8res (AVSF), to finance the agroecological transition of the cocoa sector.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:300,&quot;335559739&quot;:300,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Through this partnership, which pilot deployment just started in 2023, Advans CI financed cocoa producer investments through two cooperatives to transform their plantations into more resilient Agroforestry Systems (AFS) in the face of climate change.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:300,&quot;335559739&quot;:300,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Through partnerships like the one with the Equit\u00e9 2 Program and targeted investments in Agroforestry Systems, Advans C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire demonstrates how <strong data-start=\"774\" data-end=\"800\">microfinance in Africa<\/strong> can drive <strong data-start=\"811\" data-end=\"850\">financing climate change adaptation<\/strong> for smallholder farmers. These initiatives not only strengthen the resilience of the cocoa sector but also contribute to a more sustainable and inclusive agricultural future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/advansinternational.com\/en\/insights\/client-protection-at-the-heart-of-advans-microfinance-approach\/\">To go further, discover how Advans affirms its commitment to client protection, highlighted by the Silver Certification obtained by Advans C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire<\/a><\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1982,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"insights_types":[147],"insights_tags":[159],"class_list":["post-2258","insights","type-insights","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","insights_types-article-2","insights_tags-article"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/advansinternational.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/insights\/2258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/advansinternational.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/insights"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/advansinternational.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/insights"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/advansinternational.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/advansinternational.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/insights\/2258\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/advansinternational.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/advansinternational.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"insights_types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/advansinternational.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/insights_types?post=2258"},{"taxonomy":"insights_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/advansinternational.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/insights_tags?post=2258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
