CLIMATE ACADEMY PROJECT
PREAMBLE
In February 2016 the Dutch Postcode Lottery awarded SMH a grant to finance the project Coffee Farmers in Dire Straits. The proposal for this project was developed together with Fairtrade Africa and Food Cabinet, supported by Fairtrade International. See Annex 1 for the full Project Description.
In order to execute this project, SMH works together with the mentioned partners. For part of the work in Kenya, FTA will subcontract another specialised organisation called We Effect.
OBJECTIVES OF THE OVERALL PROJECT
The Climate Academy aims to increase the climate change resilience of coffee farmers, organised in SPOs, through training and subsequent application of insights, skills and techniques designed to better adapt to climate change. Farmers learn from experts and from each other (Farmer field school methodology). The project results in a Climate Academy Guide which will be made available for other coffee SPOs.
In parallel a communication program called Coffee to stay will be carried out in the Netherlands. This program raises awareness on the dramatic impact of climate change for small-scale coffee farmers. It builds on the experiences generated in the Climate Academy. Coffee of from Fairtrade certified Machakos Union serves as a vehicle to bring the message to the public.
