The Scoping Study: A comprehensive analysis of Ethiopia’s coffee sector, identifying renovation and rejuvenation (R&R) as critical strategies to boost productivity, improve farmer livelihoods, and enhance climate resilience.
The Concept Proposal: Building on the study’s findings, this proposal outlines the Ethiopian Coffee Rehabilitation Fund—a bold financing mechanism designed to support smallholder farmers through long-term loans, technical assistance, and ecosystem-wide collaboration.
Together, these documents offer a roadmap for transforming Ethiopia’s coffee landscape. Explore the insights, strategies, and opportunities that could reshape the future of coffee in Ethiopia.
