In cocoa farming, labour arrangements are often informal and undocumented. Many workers are hired based on verbal agreements rather than written contracts.
Promoting the use of formal employment contracts can help clarify roles, responsibilities, and working conditions, protecting workers’ rights and reducing their vulnerability to abuse.
To encourage their use, ICI has developed an awareness-raising brochure highlighting the benefits of written contracts for both workers and employers. The brochure can be used during awareness-raising sessions and shared with community members to encourage the use of formal employment contracts.
