The project expects to:

• Strengthen 60 coffee primary cooperatives actively working in the targeted areas and transform into centres for providing and disseminating agricultural inputs, technology, and information.
• Government Extension Officers and other stakeholders who are custodians of policies and plans at local levels have been reached and trained on SALM practices and other sustainable coffee farming techniques, to equip farmers with coffee farming skills.
• Several other coffee value chain stakeholders reached, working together to improve the performance of the coffee subsector.

By the end of the project, three main results are expected to be achieved:

• Increased climate-resilient production and productivity of quality coffee.
• Increased incomes from improved postharvest, processing capacities and market linkages (smallholder farmers, women and men, small and medium enterprises – SME’s) and financial services.
• Enhanced competitiveness of the coffee value chain with a supportive policy and regulatory framework.
