Sustainability initiative Better Cotton is to conduct sustainability mapping and assessments in west and central Africa. It said its aim was to enhance its understanding of the needs of smallholder farmers in the region and identify “context-specific interventions”.

Funded by the Abuja-based African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), these assessments will inform ways in which targeted support can aid the production of more sustainable and regenerative cotton across Better Cotton’s programmes in Mali and Côte d’Ivoire, which engage a combined 200,000 farmers and farm workers.
