(NISCOPS)
Copyright: xxxxxxxxxx
The National Initiatives for Sustainable & Climate Smart Oil Palm Smallholders (NISCOPS) is an innovative and collaborative programme fostering sustainability in palm oil supply chains across producer and consumer countries worldwide. Lessons learned through the implementation of the programme help inspire the sector and demonstrate effective solutions for sustainable palm oil production.
NISCOPS brings a variety of stakeholders together with a goal of working towards a supply chain that is inclusive, sustainable and scalable, with an emphasis on smallholder inclusivity. The programme is active in producer countries Ghana, Nigeria, Indonesia, Malaysia, Colombia, with market interventions in Europe and Asia, including India.
Vision
Landscapes where oil palms are grown and managed sustainably, and smallholders measurably benefit from their inclusion in oil-palm markets.
NISCOPS strives for impact in three areas
Improved land use
More palm landscapes sustainably managed and climate resilient
Better incomes
for smallholders
Inclusive markets
for smallholders producing sustainably

Overarching Aim
To demonstrate that the palm oil sector can contribute to the SDGs and climate ambitions of the Paris Agreement, whilst also improving the livelihoods of smallholder farmers and workers. Palm oil-producing landscapes will become more economically robust and socially just, while protecting and restoring valuable natural resources. This, in turn, will lead to the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture and land-use change. NISCOPS will strengthen existing partnerships and build new partnerships with national and subnational governments, reporting transparently on progress in each producing country.
