Fair Trade Artisans: Community Crafts Association of the Philippines (CCAP). The Community Crafts Association of the Philippines (CCAP) is likely one of the oldest fair-trade organizations in the Philippines. Since 1973, CCAP has been marketing handcrafts for marginalized Filipino artisans through trading relationships built on partnership. CCAP uses a strategy they call ‘development marketing”, which promotes community development by creating employment and livelihood opportunities for craftspeople by marketing their work. The organization assists community-based enterprises to change into effectively organized and self-reliant by providing them with training programs, organizational development, and markets for their products. CCAP artisans use locally available natural fibers like bamboo, rattan, coconut, and other vines and grasses to weave their quality products.
