About Elucid
Elucid is a Berlin-based social enterprise helping global companies extend affordable,
high-quality healthcare to smallholder farmers and workers in their supply chains. Our programs
operate across sectors, including cocoa, coffee, bananas, rubber, cotton, and textiles, and are
implemented in partnership with local organisations in six countries.
We work with companies such as Hershey’s, JDE Peet’s and Tony’s Chocolonely alongside

with robust data, risk assessments, and auditable impact aligned with emerging EU due
diligence requirements.
Elucid Health is a non-profit entity based in Uganda and serves as the in-country implementing
partner for Elucid. Our team works directly with producer cooperatives, communities, and local
stakeholders across key supply chains, including coffee, cocoa, and cotton, to bring Elucid’s
programs to life on the ground — from enrollment and healthcare delivery to farmer engagement
and field-level data collection.
Elucid is a fast-growing, mission-driven team representing more than 20 nationalities.
