Capacity Building
Following the need for trainings on climate adaptation and the idea to develop a more holistic capacity building approach
AdapCC contracted the scientific research and education institute CATIE (Centre for Investigation and Training on Tropical
Agriculture) to design and implement a capacity building programme to adapt Latin American small-scale coffee production to
climate change. CATIE and GTZ in cooperation with CIAT developed a one-week training seminar, which was realised in March
2009 in Matagalpa. 21 trainers were trained on the impacts of climate change on coffee production, the implementation of
concrete adaptation measures at the farm level, the application of the ROA process, the carbon reduction potential of coffee
farms and processing and the strategic planning of adaptation strategies. Among the participants were representatives from
all three AdapCC pilot regions in Peru, México and Nicaragua as well as members of CAFENICA.
