Quick Overview
Standard
The section highlights the role of government support and NGOs in rebuilding the coffee industry and local communities through eliminating corruption, establishing decentralized governance, and creating structures that enhance productivity and social participation among coffee growers.
Detailed
In this section, we explore the support systems designed for coffee growers in response to past hardships. With approximately $720 million contributed by the government, a decentralized approach was adopted to involve various NGOs in supporting municipal reconstruction efforts. The FOREC council, under the president's leadership, aimed to eliminate corruption by removing intermediate officers and ensuring transparency in decision-making. Community involvement was emphasized, particularly through the establishment of coffee grower organizations (CGOs) that focus on enhancing livelihoods. The reconstruction efforts included addressing physical needs such as housing and infrastructure as well as soft needs like education and community engagement. The challenges faced included illegal occupations in urban areas and the necessity for experienced professionals in construction. The implementation of the FORECAFE fund, sourced from CGOs and private donations, was crucial in meeting these needs through multiple funding phases for supportive infrastructure and community services.
