Component 3 aims to support communities in the coffee zones to protect and restore remaining areas of indigenous Afromontane and moist forest, providing important ecosystem services to farming as well as global environmental benefits. The change that can be expected as a result of interventions through Component 3 of the project relates to the pathway to change shown on the right-hand side of the Theory of Change diagram – strengthening of participatory forest management for restoration and sustainable livelihoods, with additional interventions to scale up introduction of fuel-efficient cookstoves and biomass-waste briquettes through local manufacturing. These interventions will, in turn, lead to higher level change of reduced rate of forest degradation and loss, including loss of the important genetic pool for Coffea arabica spp., underpinned by improved and sustainable forest-based livelihoods.
