Background

In the Philippines, MEDA is implementing a five-year initiative, Resilience and Inclusion through Investment for Sustainable Agrikultura (RIISA). The project seeks to facilitate increased resilience and inclusive economic growth for women and men cacao smallholder farmers (SHFs) and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Mindanao, Philippines, through strengthening cacao market systems supported by investment. With a focus in Davao Region and potential activities in Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), the RIISA Project will respond to multiple challenges in the Philippines cacao sector by drawing on MEDA’s expertise in market systems development, gender lens investing (GLI), gender equality and social inclusion (GESI), and environment and climate change (ECC).

Specifically, the RIISA Project aims to address cacao SHFs socio-economic challenges and contribute to market systems
resilience (MSR) by:
1. Mobilizing Gendered (G)1 Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG)-focused investment capital for cacao sector SMEs and financial intermediaries (FIs)
2. Strengthening the capacity, including GESI, human rights (HR), and ECC, of local business service providers (BSPs) to deliver improved services and products to cacao and cooperatives.
3. Strengthening the capacity of cacao cooperatives and SHFs for environmentally sustainable, equitable, and inclusive farming and business practices and promoting transformation of gender norms and the realization of human rights
4. Improving the key enabling environment actors’ awareness of G-ESG practices in the cacao market system. MEDA expects that RIISA’s investment and TA will directly benefit more than 5,400 SHFs (40% women), while indirectly impacting more than 30,000 members of cacao SHF households, and employees of cacao and cooperative members
5. Contribute to a more equitable and inclusive investment and market system enabling environment through the project’s Strategic Learning Agenda (SLA)
