2 SIDAMO PROJECT, ETHIOPIA Context and objectives Bokasso MAIN THEMES Reinforce the movement toward sustainability of Sidamo Region coffee farming, limiting the impacts of wind erosion and droughts on agricultural ecosystems. Support the empowerment of first level cooperative, working directly with Groups of Communities that compose the Bokasso cooperative (and then extending to all first level coop.) Biodiversity Agroecology Climate adaptation Climate mitigation Self sufficiency Culture Community empowerment Develop best-class agroforestry systems with coffee. Economic development SPECIFIC CONTEXT The project will take place in the surroundings of Bokasso. The village is located in the Southern Region, between the Ethiopian Southern Plateau and Southern Low lands. Coffee trees are growing on hilly areas. Soil erosion (due to wind and severe drought episodes) threatens both the quantity and quality of coffee yields. A majority of the small-scale farmers mainly rely upon coffee production for their subsistence. Enhancing the coffee production resilience in yields and quality constitute the best strategy to support economically the populations. The plantation of fruit trees will be of importance to guaranty food sovereignty. KEY ELEMENTS Type: Agroforestry / fruit production Partner: Bokasso Cooperative Participants: 1,813 coffee farmers, certified Organic and FLO Objective April 2015: trees planted Potential: > 3million trees Products: fruit and timber trees

4 LOCATION Sidamo AREA, Southern Region, Ethiopia Project area is located in hilly region between the Ethiopian Central Plateau and Southern Lowlands Poor farmers in a region with low access to national and international economical support Erosion issues due to strong slopes and severe drought. The erosion issue is exacerbated by widely spread intensive culture of Eucalyptus. Important stake for farmers to maintain coffee yields and quality and diversify their incomes. BOKASSO

5 SPECIFIC CONTEXT Unsustainable agricultural practice in Bokasso cooperative The coffee grown in the Bokasso Cooperative influence zone is part on the Sidamo Region appellation and commercialized as such. It is grown by small-scale farmers on the hillsides surrounding the town of Bokasso. The average coffee farm is 1,1 ha. Coffee trees are growing on sloping terrain, where soil erosion (due to wind and severe drought episodes) threatens both the quantity and quality of coffee yields. Intensive Eucalyptus timber production (used as a crop) make situation worse. As timber has been identified as efficient source of revenue, it is a high priority to teach local population how to produce sustainable and diversified timber. The objective is to get farmers to quit producing Eucalyptus timber with unsustainable cultivation models and switch to sustainable production. The plantation of trees in and around coffee fields will help to preserve soils and reduce erosion, while helping farmers to ensure optimal growing conditions.

6 PROJECT OBJECTIVES Adding value to coffee fields Ensure sustainability of family farming, by optimizing the use of lands with the combination of coffee, timber and fruit production; Reduce soil erosion in coffee fields and ensure the long-term quality and availability of Sidamo Region coffee; Protecting water resources that will soon limit coffee productions (high needs for coffee washing); Increase and diversify revenues for farmers, with a better distribution over time through sustainable timber production, and assist local population in reaching food sovereignty through fruit production; Favor crop diversification and multicropping (stopping systematic inversion in Eucalyptus production).

7 LOCAL PARTNER The Bokasso Cooperative The Bokasso cooperative is part of the Sidamo Union of coffee producers. It was officially registered with the government in The cooperative members are organic and FLO certified The Sidamo Union has helped to guaranty access to global coffee market for the Bokasso cooperative members. The Bokasso cooperative is closely supported by local agronomic governmental agency (that lack of resource to fully implement its support) and Technoserve local bureau based in Awassa. Engida Asefa, project technician, gathering data in coffee fields

8 PARTICIPANTS small-scale farmers The members of Bokasso are small-scale farmers with an average surface area of one ha. Today, there are 1813 members located in 4 Kebeles (Unions of communities within Bokasso area) The total cooperative s coffee farms are 2476 Hectares. All these coffee farms are owned by the farmers. Meeting in a coffee fields in Bokasso Kebele They are very poor families below the poverty line, living mainly on revenues of coffee production, and under food sovereignty level for most of them. There is a strong need to support the progressive integration of women. Typical house of the coffee producers in the Bokasso surroundings

12 BUILDING THE TEAM Selection and contractualization of the technicians Good knowledge of the project area and local communities Proficiency in Amharic, Sidamic and English Leadership and communication skill with small-scale farmers. Knowledge on agroforestry and coffee farming Engida Asafa (left ) and a producer of the Bokasso Cooperative.

13 BEGINNINGS OF COLLABORATION Production of seedlings and analyse of Impacts Certification of origin for high quality tree seedlings(experience in selection of species). Contract signed for plants Meeting between Mr. Bereket Roba, Head of Forestry dept. The investigation in the project area will be lead co-jointly to assess the Social impacts Environmental impacts (soils, water, productivity, etc )

19 NEXT STEPS Continuation of activities for first planting wave DEC 2014 MAR 2015 PRE-PLANTATION AUDIT BY TECHNICIAN Parcels visits in 4 Kebeles of Bokasso cooperative Precise listing (farmers, models, species, umber of trees, surfaces etc ) Aggregation of data (anticipated version of plantation registry & GPS database) APR 2015 PLANTATION FACE AND FIRST MONITORING Counting of mortality and identification of major causes Incentive payment to farmers based on number of living trees at second monitoring Technical assistance on maintenance and growth control ANNUAL FOLLOW-UP MONITORINGS Individual visits to every parcels, follow-up on growth and measurements Technical assistance, recommendations and trainings on pruning activities

20 LEARNINGS Observations and remarks for fine-tuning of activities Strong commitment from local Governmental Development Agency Fully dedicated technicians to the Bokasso producers The development of the project has been greatly supported (communication, socialization, etc ) The project will walk on the tracks of small plantation initiatives impulse in 2012 and 2013 The technical team will be fully integrated in the Bokasso Project technician is already in good interaction with Kebeles leaders Cooperative manager will externally certify processes and funds transfers Local farmers strong interest for sustainable timber and fruits. The high demand from local producer for quality seedlings (certified timber trees, grafted fruit trees) is confirmed The high price for grafted high-quality fruit tree makes it almost impossible for local small-scale farmers to obtain A few producers already interested in planting forest species within coffee, which testify of a local facilities for the project
