A greener future on a grand scale
Ethiopia’s Bale Eco-region is an ecologically critical area and also home to many people who depend on its resources for their livelihood. Since 2014, Farm Africa has been leading a consortium to improve livelihoods in the region while ensuring the ecosystem is protected. Taking a broad-scale, multi-sectoral approach, the first phase of the project developed a management strategy for the region. Phase II of the project (2019-2024), funded by the European Union, has scaled out the strategy to reach over 1.6 million people. This report summarises those Phase II activities and outcomes.

Farmers in Virunga, DR Congo are producing some of the world's best coffee. But poor farming practices, processing and lack of market channels have, until now, limited sales and kept growers’ incomes low. By unleashing the potential of two coffee cooperatives, this project will boost the livelihoods of over 7,000 coffee farming families living on the border of Virunga National Park, reducing pressure on the park’s resources and lifting people out of poverty.
