Speaking at the signing ceremony in Accra, the Director of the Cadbury Cocoa Partnership, Mrs Yaa Peprah, said in response to challenging physical development needs of communities in which the Cadbury Cocoa Partnership Ghana Programme was being implemented, the Cadbury Cocoa Partnership Community Challenge Fund was established with a seed fund of GH¢1.8 million in 2009. The Managing Director of Cadbury Ghana Limited, Mr James Boateng, said the Cadbury Cocoa Partnership programme had stood out as a truly social responsible initiative, adding that it encompassed stakeholders such as scientists and academia. One of the initiatives, he said was the construction of wells to provide potable water for some deprived communities. Bookmark with:
