Impact that is measurable and reported
Equity Coffee measures impact through a simple chain: skills → evidence → market access. We are in pilot phase. Donor funding can accelerate training and evaluations, while long-term sustainability comes from repeat commercial outcomes and transparent documentation.
Impact goals by 2030
These goals guide delivery and reporting. Progress will be published annually as verified data becomes available.
Farmers receiving structured training, evaluation feedback, and buyer-ready documentation through Equity Coffee programs.
Active delivery across key producing regions via local partners, educators, evaluators, and commercial collaborators.
Cumulative value of coffee traded, documented, or negotiated through Equity Coffee infrastructure and partner execution.
These goals are directional. Definitions, baselines, and methodology will be refined as pilots mature and field data is collected.
How impact is created
- Skills: training completion, attendance, module progress, practice adoption.
- Evidence: lots evaluated, report coverage, score consistency, documentation quality.
- Access: buyer inquiries, offers issued, contracts signed, repeat buyers.
- Value capture: transparency on terms; price improvement reported where applicable.
Why smallholders lose value
Many farmers lack consistent quality feedback, buyer-ready documentation, and negotiation support. At the same time, trained coffee professionals have underutilized skills that can accelerate improvement — if delivered with clear standards, funding, and coordination.
What donor funding accelerates
- Educators & curriculum delivery: practical training (harvest, processing, storage, quality).
- Evaluations: consistent cupping, reporting, and feedback loops.
- Tools: templates, documentation support, and structured listings.
- Governance: audit logs, transparent reporting, and public impact updates.
Donor funding accelerates delivery. Trade outcomes sustain it.
How we report (practical)
- Monthly: sessions delivered, participants onboarded, evaluations completed.
- Quarterly: buyer engagement, offers/contracts, repeat trade indicators.
- Annually: progress against 2030 goals, methodology updates, and verified summaries.
