- 12. Transforming Lives and Landscapes with Trees Specifically: ➢ Prevent further conversion of forests for the production of cocoa. ➢ Promote long-term productivity of cocoa in environmentally suitable areas with a vision of bettering farmers incomes ➢ Develop new and strengthen management of existing cocoa- based agroforestry systems in and in the buffer zones outside ASCOKYB community forest. ➢ Develop technical and business capacity of community forest groups towards viable community forest enterprises. ➢ Develop capacities for participatory monitoring, reporting, and verification for REDD
