Good Practice: Vocational training and promotion of Rural Entrepreneurship Associated with Coffee

Brief summary

The project was proposed to contribute to the reduction of rural poverty, in coffee production areas of Peru and Bolivia, targeting mainly young informal self-employed workers and women, who depend directly or indirectly on this production, and who find themselves in a vulnerable work situation.

To this end, the specific objective was to increase the levels of decent employment of informal rural workers (self-employed) who participate in coffee value chains in 3 production regions of Peru and 2 in Bolivia, within the framework of a process of strengthening the associative model and access to social protection and assurance systems of national and binational incidence, through a strategy built around 3 axes of work. The second axis was the support to the decent self-employment of the informal workers of the coffee chain, through vocational training, certification of job competencies and promotion of rural enterprises in productions associated with coffee.
