Tender Details

Request for proposals are invited for Establish Centers for Cocoa Development (CCDs) in Bong, Lofa and Nimba Counties.
The Liberia Cocoa Sector Improvement Programme (LICSIP 2018-2021), is an effort to promote sustainable productivity, profitability and competitiveness driven primarily by farmers associations and private sector supply actors in the cocoa sector of Liberia through the provision of bouquet of support services through established one-stop shops called Centers for Cocoa Development (CCDs).
