Brazil - Multi-Stakeholder Partnership for a Sustainable Orange Juice Value Chain

Project context

The Multi-Stakeholder Partnership for a Sustainable Orange Juice Value Chain from Germany, Europe to Brazil by the Christliche Initiative Romero (CIR) aims to improve the working conditions of farmers and manufacturers and wants to strengthen civil society as well as unions in Brazil. For this CIR is working with traders, unions, local communities, academia in Germany and Brazil as well as international platforms in Europe. CLI supports CIR through a long-term capacity development for structured and goal oriented dialogue, facilitation and cooperation with the stakeholders from the diverse collaboration systems along the supply chain. As of 2019, these core actors have succeeded in creating a skilled core team in Germany committed to give Brazilian workers a voice so that they can design alternatives for their pathway towards respected core labour standards and fundamental social rights.
