Papua New Guinea Cocoa Board
National cocoa industry authority supporting cocoa standards, regulation and development guidance.
Major Community Based Project
Community Based Cocoa ARR Project Initiative
The Community Based Cocoa ARR Project Initiative links restoration with income pathways that communities can manage locally. The work supports nursery development, agroforestry preparation and practical field participation so conservation becomes visible and valuable on the ground.
Instead of treating restoration as a stand-alone activity, this initiative connects seedling production, training, planting support and community coordination in one delivery model. Families, youth and local leaders all take part in preparing materials, supporting nurseries and building long-term livelihood opportunities.

Conservation Value
Restoration becomes meaningful when communities see environmental and economic benefit.
Local Participation
Women, youth, families and leaders participate in practical project delivery.
1. Nursery Construction
Local teams prepare shade structures and nursery spaces so cocoa and supporting tree seedlings can be raised in a protected environment before field planting begins.
2. Seedling Preparation
Families and community members prepare soil, fill seedling bags and learn simple care routines that help young plants grow well and strengthen local ownership.
3. Agroforestry Development
Cocoa and supporting trees are linked to restoration work so communities can improve land productivity, strengthen livelihoods and create long-term conservation value.
