Bougainville Cocoa Families Support Project (BECOMES)

Cocoa farming project extended

The Bougainville Cocoa Families Support Project (BECOMES) – which aims to support the economic and social wellbeing of cocoa farmers and assist women, young people and men to better manage their cocoa plots – has been extended for two years.

This will allow BECOMES to reach smallholder farming families and other targeted groups in Buka, Selau/Suir, Tinputz and Wakunai districts.

The project is supported by the Autonomous Bougainville Government and the governments of Papua New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand through the Bougainville Partnership and delivered by Care.
