TRECC - Transforming Education in Cocoa Communities

Philanthropic Fundraising Services

Overview

TRECC is a program aiming to create an ecosystem for sustainable social transformation to increase the quality of education in cocoa communities in Ivory Coast. The program was created by the Jacobs Foundation in 2015. Since its launch, TRECC has become a growing coalition of public and private stakeholders aligning capital and knowledge to improve the quality of education in Ivory Coast. The Bernard van Leer Foundation and the UBS Optimus Foundation have committed important financial and intellectual capital resources to support TRECC. We work with a network of talented and accomplished partners. These include international researchers, education businesses, social entrepreneurs, international and Ivorian NGOs, Government bodies as well as members of the philanthropy sector and the cocoa industry. By applying a multi-stakeholder approach, we combine the knowledge and experience of several actors in all the activities we implement.
