Organization: Solidaridad Eas & Central Africa
Country: United Republic of Tanzania

Preamble

Solidaridad strives to be an organization that understands the signs of modern times, seeking to be a Civil Society Organization (CSO) with its own place and role in society, while simultaneously interacting with Governments and markets. The organization envisions a world in which all we produce, and all we consume can sustain us while respecting the planet, and the next generations. Solidaridad embraces the public-private and people partnerships (PPPP) in order to test innovations, speeding up change and take success to scale. Globally, Solidaridad works around coffee and other 12 commodities / sectors (http://www.solidaridadnetwork.org

Program Summary

The Coffee Resilience Program 2018-2020 dubbed Practice for Change (PFC) is a multi-country program on 2 main result areas as per Solidaridad Strategic vision: Good practices and Robust Infrastructure. The program supports 23,500 small and medium scale coffee farmers/producers across 3 East African countries; Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya. The program was designed to address a myriad of challenges facing East African Coffee farmers which include; high costs of production, poor governance at cooperative level, decreasing coffee productivity, poor quality of coffee, erratic weather conditions, low income earned by coffee farmers, limited access to finance for coffee farmers and the need for a data driven sector

Despite the above issues, smallholder farming is a resilient practice and has a strong future for East African coffee producers. Smallholder farming has stood strong despite the tribulations that some of these countries have undergone since the 70’s. It is however, imperative that the sector players should continue to work in a more coordinated and collaborative manner. Solidaridad East and Central Africa in a consortium with the public and private sector players work towards driving an inclusive, resilient and economically viable coffee production region that moves from slow and small to speed and scale. The program has been running since January 2018 in Kenya-(Kirinyaga, Meru, Nyeri, Machakos and Embu Counties), Tanzania- (Kilimanjaro and Arusha regions), Uganda (Kapchorwa and Kiruhura Districts) and targets over 23,500 smallholder farmers and medium size farmers.

Expected Outcomes:

  1. Increase productivity to 4 kg of cherry per tree (baseline is 2 kg per tree) for smallholder coffee farmers and 6 kg of cherry per tree (baseline is 3 kg per tree) for medium scale farmers as result of GP by 2021.
  2. Increase quality by 25% (premium grades reaching 70% from 45%) as result of GP package by 2021.
  3. 20% increase in income for farmers as result of increased coffee productivity & diversification.
  4. 10% women membership and direct access to knowledge and income from coffee by 2021.
  5. Economic and farming performance data available to farmers, cooperatives and financial institutions through ICT solutions.
  6. Farmers access finance to invest in good practices and/or new technologies.
  7. 1M Euro of blended finance secured from financial institutions or investors to implement in good practices and robust infrastructure by 2021.
