SCPP is a large PPP comprising Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Development (SECO), the Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH), the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, IFA, and new MCA.
By using a holistic and successfully tested approach, SCPP helps to provide a foundation for the long-term sustainability of cocoa production in Indonesia.
