Country: Democratic Republic of the Congo
Closing date: 13 Mar 2019
Democratic Republic of Congo coffee is perhaps the most compelling and underdeveloped of all coffee origins. In Eastern Congo, the two provinces of North and South Kivu hold some of the most promising coffee production areas in the world, regularly recording high specialty grade cupping scores and garnering the attention of some of the best known roasters. North Kivu, in particular, has thousands of farmers excited to engage the specialty coffee value chain.
The Virunga National Park has contracted Farm Africa to develop, design and implement a set of interventions for the North Kivu coffee value chain that will improve income generation and food security for communities near the park. The Team Leader will work for and report to Farm Africa and coordinate with Virunga National Park.
This programme will focus on the further development and scaling of two coffee cooperatives – from farm management, production and processing to marketing – in conjunction with other relevant secondary agriculture value chains.
