Challenges /Opportunities

Regular communication and accountability to the

stakeholders – opportunity for increased funding – THIS IS NOT HAPPENING

Collaborative engagement with local governments –

business takes place here! – DEPENDENT ON CENTRAL GOVERNMENT FUNDING

Improved institutional development – financial

institutions – THEY ARE NOT GENERALLY ON BOARD!

Improved publicity on benefits of multi-stakeholder

consultative processes – PUBLIC SECTOR ‘WORKS’ UNDER PRESSURE!.

Modest isolated improvements in Productivity

GCP??

Opportunity?

– Funding – Advocacy – Sustainability – Networking and communication – Shared best practices from across the coffee world

Need for clear guidance
Keep it simple and country specific
