Building capacities for sector change: Central America program SP-CEAM Building capacities for sector change: Central America program In 2020 we will have strengthened the lobby and advocacy capacity of civil society organizations in Central America on productivity, Climate and water and living wage. As a result we will see an improvement of policy environment (both government and companies) and support services in these countries related to these themes.These themes are: 1. Sustainable productivity Raising smallholder productivity in a sustainable way is a key component of sector transformation. It is needed to increase income of the farmer and increase production while lowering the environmental footprint. 2. Women’s empowerment and gender The goal is to increase the inclusion of women in certification and access to benefits as well as to reduce discrimination and violence against women. 3. Climate and water The focus is on up scaling of best practices in smallholder adaptation to climate change and sustainable water use. 4. Living wage The goal is to improve wages of workers on coffee and tea estates towards a living wage.
