Ce programme adopte une approche innovante centrée sur la famille, visant à accroître le revenus des familles de cacaoculteurs.
En concentrant nos efforts sur la famille, nous intégrons plus fortement les femmes comme actrices du changement. En leur donnant les moyens de générer un revenu supplémentaire et de jouer un rôle actif dans les finances familiales, nous souhaitons encourager l’égalité femme-homme et, à terme, contribuer à ce que les foyers soient plus financièrement équilibrés au travers de l’impact que le programme génère.
Le programme est établi et conçu pour encourager les changements de comportement et récompenser les pratiques positives – tant au sein du foyer que sur l’exploitation. Le programme récompense les familles productrices de cacao pour pour l’adoption de pratiques plus positives, tant en ce qui concerne la culture du cacao qu’au sein des familles des cacaoculteurs.
Nous avons publié le premier rapport d’impact sur le programme pilote d’accélération des revenus, auquel ont participé 1000 familles productrices de cacao. L’impact du programme est mesuré de manière indépendante par le KIT Institute.
-
Programme pilote.1000 familles productrices de cacao en Côte d’Ivoire participent au projet pilote d’accélération des revenus. -
Test à grande échelle.Le projet pilote est élargi pour inclure plus de 10 000 familles productrices de cacao en Côte d’Ivoire pour la phase de test à grande échelle. -
Extension.Sur la base des enseignements tirés du projet pilote et du test à grande échelle, nous avons étendu le programme au Ghana et en Côte d’Ivoire en touchant 30 000 familles. -
Notre ambition.Nous visons à intégrer 160 000 familles productrices de cacao dans le programme d’ici 2030.
How does this support future generations?
Enrolling children in school. The program incentivizes families to support the cost of kids in education. Nestlé also finances improvements of school buildings and infrastructure.
How do we ensure it is sustainable?
Implementing good practices, such as pruning. This helps increase the yield, reduce crop disease and improves household income. We train, equip, and subsidise groups to do this pruning.
How do you futureproof the farms?
Agroforestry is practised. Planting forest and fruit trees provide shade for the Cocoa, helping resist the impact of climate change and supports biodiversity.
How does the Income Accelerator Program go beyond supporting cocoa farming?
We encourage creating additional sources of income with the families. This includes growing other crops, raising livestock and chickens, beekeeping, or processing other products such as cassava.
How are these incentives paid to the families?
Through safe and reliable mobile payments directly in the hands of Cocoa-farming families. They payments are distributed in a way which gives greater financial decision-making to women – both within the home and in the community.
Our Stories
Plantation d’arbres d’ombrage dans les exploitations cacaoyères
Shade and fruit trees help improve the resilience of cocoa crops and promote biodiversity. They also provide opportunities for income diversification, and distributing trees as part of the Income Accelerator Program is having a big impact.
L’histoire de Béatrice et de Roméo
When Béatrice opened a small store, not being able to read or write impacted business. Enrolling in a Nestlé maternal literacy program transformed not only her life, but the life of her 12 year old son Roméo too.
Fournir aux cacaoyers l’ombre dont ils ont besoin
Shade trees stand as a sunblock for cocoa, allowing for moisture-rich crop spaces. So we’re distributing shade trees to cocoa farmers such as Dominic, who shares that “the results are clear for all to see.”
Contribuer à améliorer le revenus des familles
By engaging in positive practices promoted by the Income Accelerator Program, cocoa-farming families can earn additional income to help close the gap in living income. As we move from the pilot to a test at scale phase, the benefits are more apparent than ever.

Taille et production durable de cacao
Selectively pruning degraded and diseased branches can help improve overall yield and quality of cocoa pods from older trees. By promoting pruning, farmers can divesify incomes while limiting crop disease and loss, to great effect.
