What is MSP?

A shared table for shared challenges

A Multi-Stakeholder Platform (MSP) is a collaborative framework that brings together diverse groups of stakeholders to address common challenges, share knowledge, and co-create solutions.

Stakeholder categories include:

  • Government agencies

The goal of the platform is to leverage the strengths and expertise of every stakeholder to drive progress in areas such as value chain development, policy advocacy, climate-smart agriculture, digital inclusion, research and innovation, farmer livelihoods, and sustainable cocoa production. The Ondo State Sustainable Cocoa MSP serves as a coordination platform that promotes dialogue, joint decision-making, knowledge sharing and partnerships aimed at improving cocoa standards, productivity, market access and sustainability.
