Coffee rehab

Coffee rehab work to follow new stringent guidelines

Hombunaka said the new guidelines will ensure Lead Partners report accurately their activities including use of finance and procurement of items under their work plans to improve farming practices, increase coffee production and quality hence more income for growers.

The improved guidelines were explained in a meeting to potential partners under call 4 on Tuesday 26 and Wednesday April 27 at Bird of Paradise Hotel, Goroka.

These changes follows lessons learned from call 1 and 2 where Lead Partners did not report accurately their activities including use of finance.

Coffee rehab money is not “free handout”

 “Those who have run away, we will come after you. This is not a free handout.”

 Mopafi issued these challenging statements in a meeting with potential Lead Partners under Call 4 on Tuesday April 26, at Bird of Paradise Hotel, Goroka. The two-day meeting with 22 potential partners which has been screened from 60 applicants ended Wednesday 27.
