Abstract
The Universidad EAFIT is part of the institutions that lead the 'Efecto Cacao' project, through which it is intended to improve the quality of life of nearly 1,700 families of cocoa farmers in four regions of Colombia. An investment of 35 million dollars is expected, in money and kind, in three components: productivity, associativity and entrepreneurship, and social. In addition, it has served to replace crops for illicit use.
