Bougainville, an autonomous region of Papua New Guinea, is experiencing an economic boom due to record high cocoa prices and successful aid efforts by Australia and New Zealand. The Commodity Support Facility initiative helped rehabilitate cocoa plantations and improve financial literacy for farmers. The cocoa industry, which has a long history in Bougainville, is now thriving, benefiting smallholder farmers and contributing to the region's economy.

The project's achievements and lessons learned should be shared more widely to inform future development efforts. [Extracted from the article]
