capacity building of tea farmers organisations
CTCF is a new client for Agriterra. This recently established organization is working in close coordination with TEASEC (same office) but both organizations have their own objectives. Agriterra decided at the end of 2011 to stop the cooperation with TEASEC and start supporting CTCF, being a truly membership base organization. The main objective of CTCF is lobby and advocacy, followed by organisational strengthening service provision to its member Cooperatives. Cooperative movement is positively supported by the government of Nepal, but there is a lack of financial and training support. CTCF will further build the management/ entrepreneurial capacities of primary tea cooperatives and support through effective lobby and advocacy for conducive policies and access to subisdies/loans of the government / other donors. Maintaining in a systematic way the tea database and membership database will further support/strengthen their lobby and advocacy as they can show facts. The lobby and advocacy should contribute to some concrete results such as access to subisdies and loans; agreement to change the national tea policy in favour of small holders; establishing a branch office of National Cooperative bank in Ilam etc. The PGPP training will support CTCF to prepare good policy propositions and do effective lobby. Organisational strengthening of CTCF as well as district and primary level coops, will result in increased membership (56 -> 65 primary cooperatives); better functioning coops with higher sales of green leaves; primary coops will get access to government loans and subsidies to build collection centres; vermin-compost units and mini processing units. null The main objective of CTCF is lobby and advocacy, followed by organisational strengthening service provision to its member Cooperatives. The project has 3 main objectives 1. Capacity building of Central Tea Cooperative Federation(CTCF), District Cooperative Federations and groups or Cooperatives on lobby and advocacy 2. Entrepreneurship and marketing support targeting especially for young tea farmers 3. To establish effective supervision and monitoring system in tea sector for regular dissemination of information.
