Bugisu coffee farmers get skills boost
June 9, 2021 FILE Coffee farmers
The GIZ Employment and Skills for Development in Africa (E4D) programme has partnered with the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) Uganda and Olam Food Ingredients (OFI) to co-design a suite of scientifically-tested living income strategies, tailored to the diverse needs of coffee farmers in the Mount Elgon region of Uganda.
The intervention represents deeper support outside the usual blanket support provided through traditional service delivery models.
According to a press statement, the organisations will identify, test, assess, measure and apply the most efficient living income strategies for different farmer segments to reduce the living income gap and enable them to afford a decent standard of living for all members of their households.
