  1. AdapCCAdaptation toClimate ChangeforSmallholders UnusualPartnerships * PROGRESO NETWORK A public-private partnership between Cafédirect and GTZ Kerstin Linne, 2009

  2. AGENDA • AdapCC Project Background and objectives • Structure of the project • Network of institutions • CC impacts and producer vulnerabilities • Critical success factors • Cooperation as an achieved result • Future challenges • Dilemma

  3. 1. AdapCCBackground and objectives AdapCC is… • a public-private partnership between Cafédirect and GTZ • a three years cooperation from 2007 until 2010 • a project that is working with four pilot producer groups in Latin America and East Africa • a pilot initiative to create examples how to adapt to changing climate conditions AdapCC is aiming at … • advancement of producer organisations‘ capacity to reduce existing climate related risks and cope with future climatic scenarios • improving access to financial and technical support mechanisms

  4. 2. Structureoftheproject: Public-Private Partnership (PPP) • Public contribution GTZ: • political interest in sustainable development on producer level, securing producers’ income and create transferable examples how to adapt to climate change • existing network (International Cooperation) • technical and financial resources (€ 421 000) • Private contribution Cafédirect: • economic interest in strengthening smallholders to secure good quality and quantity of coffee and tea • existing producer network • technical and financial resources (€ 450 000) PPP for strengthening smallholders’ capacity to cope with climate change • Coffee and tea producer groups: • pilot groups • contribute as they can (financial + human resources, labour) CC CC CC CC

  5. 3. Network of institutions Cafédirect FfthF CPL – networkof 259,806 producers in 13 countries SEMARNAT GTZ Más Café CGIAR/ BEAF ECOSUR CATIE CIAT UNAM 4C PRODECCOP Network of 17,888 coffeeproducers PIDECAFE CEPICAFE VFS/ CICDA Network of 53,574 teaproducers Michimikuru GTZ/ PDRS SCC IMANI TRF Conservation Comp. Network of 24,584 coffeeproducers GTZ/ PSDA KTDA MinistryofAgriculture

  6. 4. CC impacts • Rise of temperature • Change of precipitation patterns • Extreme weather events • Inadequate mangement of the farm / of the agro-forestry system • Old plantations • Poor fertility of soils • Inefficient exploitation of natural resources • High deforestation rate affecting the local ecosystems • Lack of investments and capacity building Vulnerabilities of coffee growers

  7. 5. Critical success factors • Participatory approach to secure ownership • One contact person being member of the producer organization • Inclusion of the project in the strategic planning of the producer organization • Own input of producer organization (financial / human resources) • Continuous communication • Managing expectations of all partners involved

  8. 6. Cooperation as an achieved result • Network of public and private institutions on a regional and international level • Exchange of knowledge and experiences • Elaboration of instruments / methodologies / capacity building • Implementation of adaptation strategies • Anchoring of results and lessons learned • Acquisition of additional funds for the implementation of adaptation and mitigation measures in agriculture

  9. 7. Future challenges • Identifiy multipliers and promoters that offer producers their knowledge, advice and capacity building • Identify partners and cooperation methods to expand AdapCC’s focus – scaling up to other regions, other products, to a political level, etc. • Answer questions which AdapCC has not answered: • More profound scientific studies in respect to the production of more suitable crops for the future – diversification • Conservation of genetic diversity / selection of resistant plants • Better access to climate information / future scenarios • Access to the voluntary CO2 markets / climate friendly certification • Long-term adaptation strategies, integrated in politics • Evaluation of the impacts of adaptation measures • Analysis of costs and benefits • Financing of sustainable adaptation for agriculture

  10. 8. Dilemma • Many adaptation options identified vs. limited project funds • Many long-term adaptation options identified vs. short project duration • Up-scaling and access to finances needed to give the topic its deserved follow up even after the project ends

  13. Achieved results - Instruments • Database containing information on existing impacts and future risks for the production of tea and coffee (on international level and specifically for each site) as well as the carbon sequestration potential in agroforestry systems • ROA Process as the basic instrument to identify adaptation measures • Adaptation strategies implemented in 4 focal regions, specifically adapted to the local context / pilot cases / good practices / lessons learned

  14. Achieved results – Capacity building • AdapCC seminar – capacyity building programme to train technical promoters of Latin American coffee organizations concerning the adaptation to climate change as well as mitigation methods – in cooperation wirh CATIE and CIAT • Manual and training materials will be available for producers and their organizations • Follow-up workshops for producers in the pilot regions

  15. Achieved results - Financing • Overview of financial mechanisms at national and international level • Adaptation strategies and project proposals of each pilot group to find financing and donors • Feasibility study on generation of carbon credits, PIN and PDD elaborated for pilot case Peru • Production of “environmentally friendly coffee” in Peru
