PASSPORT TO COFFEE EXPORT (PACE) PROJECT

Passport to Coffee Export (PACE) is a four-year project funded by the European Union (EU), targeting around 22,500 coffee smallholder farmers in Mbeya, Ruvuma, and Songwe regions in Tanzania.

The overall objective of the PACE project is to develop a sustainable and export-oriented coffee value chain by 2024. Despite AMCOS and farmer groups playing a significant role in boosting coffee exports, these groups face challenges such as limited staff capacity in business management, lack of entrepreneurial skills, and weak management of funds.

The project aims to provide training to AMCOS and board leaders on record keeping, financial literacy, and business planning, enabling them to manage cooperative businesses efficiently.

• Provide training on record keeping and financial literacy to 65 AMCOS.

• A report outlining all activities conducted and achievements.
• EFD receipts for all payments made.

INPUTS

• Solidaridad will provide the trainer with relevant project background information.

• Training participants will be identified and proposed by Solidaridad.

QUALIFICATIONS
