Who We Are

A cocoa association with a rural development mission.

CCWYA was established in 2025 to bridge the long-standing gap affecting marginalized women and youth in Uganda's cocoa sector.

We work across the cocoa value chain — from seedling production and farming to aggregation, quality management, market linkage, value addition and export-oriented supply — while also addressing nutrition, education, skills and environmental sustainability.
