Scaling Investments 4 Resilience of East African Coffee Producers To address the high costs of coffee production, poor governance in cooperatives, and decreasing coffee productivity and quality of coffee, we have supported small and medium scale coffee farmers in Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya to adopt good agricultural and climate smart practices. There was a marked improvement in coffee production across all the farmer archetypes in the three countries: Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. In spite of lower coffee market prices over the period, farmer incomes improved due to improved yields and quality, as a result of the project's interventions. At the end of 2020, we have trained 22,663 farmers and workers in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania to adopt good practices, financial management and building resilience to climate change. The project was able to provide access to basic financial services such as savings, credit and insurance to 3,300 beneficiaries in 300 Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) in Uganda and Tanzania. As at December 2020, at least 225,000 euros had been mobilized through these VLSAs. The project supported the farmers with access to (digital) information such as weather forecast data, technologies such as varietal conversion through top working, financial support and linkages to service providers of essential services such as climate insurance. The project supported over 3,840 women and girls to overcome typical barriers for women participation in the coffee value chain, through training on agronomic and marketing decision making, access to coffee production and marketing intelligence, representing the family in coffee meetings, managing a share of the coffee trees and allocation of a share of proceeds and business skills building and provision of opportunities to start income generating activities (e.g. fish farming, beekeeping, fruits and dairy production).
