5YEARS PROJECT💥
CALL FOR APPLICATION FOR ENUMERATORS
The University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) is implementing a five-year project (2021-2026) titled: the Paradoxes of Climate-smart Coffee (PACSMAC). The project is implemented in collaboration with Copenhagen Business School, Jimma University (Ethiopia), Lafayette University (USA) and Esade (Spain). The project seeks to recruit qualified applicants to apply for position of six (6) enumerators. The successful applicant will join with an international team during the data collection fieldwork, starting in January 2023. The fieldwork will be conducted in Mbozi, Mbinga, Kyerwa and Rombo districts.
Project summary and background
The project focus on the coffee sectors in Tanzania and Ethiopia. The PACSMAC project will investigate how climate change and the ways actors across the coffee value chain are trying to adapt to or mitigate its effects on coffee farmers’ livelihoods and land-use decisions. PACSMAC will illuminate the connection between smallholders’ opportunities to innovate to improve their livelihoods and firms’ and governments’ efforts to build and profit from global coffee value chains. Research is guided by the following three questions:
1. How might climate change itself, alongside the mitigation and adaptation efforts intended to address it, affect the governance of coffee value chains originating in Ethiopia and Tanzania?
2. How do these changes affect the distribution of value along the coffee chain, upgrading opportunities and coffee farmer livelihoods?
3. How might these changes reshape the geography of coffee production and forest cover?
The research method will combine participant observations, expert interviews, focus group discussions, interviews, surveys, and satellite data in selected villages in coffee-growing regions in the four districts mentioned earlier. Combining these valuable data sources will allow to develop scenarios of 1
future coffee value chain development in the two countries that connect farmers’, states’ and firms’ actions with livelihood and land-cover impacts.
