A joint working alliance between the Megantoni National Sanctuary (MNS), five associations of agricultural producers and private enterprise, based on a “win-win” strategy, provides sustainable economic opportunities for the local population living in the MNS buffer zone and contributes to the conservation of the area.

Effective management ensures that the conservation of the MNS and ecosystem services are maintained, that local populations benefit from a fair price for cocoa throughout the year through commercial agreements, and that the company acquires quality products. In addition to contributing to food security through the installation of bio-gardens in educational institutions.

All of this will encourage the surrounding population to conserve and participate in the activities of the Protected Natural Area.
