Ethiopa and Kenya: Peer Partners to Support Coffee Smallholders

***** NEW WEBSITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION - WATCH THIS SPACE!*****

We have now initiated a project, partnering Ambo College with Nyeri Technical Training Institute (Kenya) to transfer the knowledge and experience of Ambo College (Ethiopia) on working with smallholders - to the NTTI – so that the NTTI can engage with and train smallholder coffee co-operatives locally in supply chain management.

This is all about developing the capacity of African institutions to support each other to assist with smallholder business education. There is also a specific emphasis on the inclusion of women within decision making and on providing more opportunities for men and women to come together as equals to discuss how they can work together to become more empowered within the supply chain as coffee smallholders. As with all LYF projects, we are working to provided added value to our project - so that the direct focus on supporting coffee growers to access regional and global markets is bolstered by getting African institutions to share their own skills and to create stronger educational support, available locally, for their own farmers.
