In 2012, UTZ Certified commissioned LEI Wageningen UR to determine the effects of this certification
programme. LEI Wageningen UR led the study in partnership with the Centre for Development
Innovation (CDI Wageningen UR), the French Centre de Coopération Internationale et Recherche
Agronomique pour le Développement (CIRAD), and Ivorian research organisation Agriculture et Cycles
de Vie (A.C.V).
This report presents the results of the independent baseline survey and assessment framework by the
research team. It evaluates the effectiveness of cocoa programme in bringing about improvements for
cocoa farmers and cooperatives participating in the programme. Based on this evaluation, the report
draws lessons learned and provides recommendations to improve the quality of the programme.
