 About the Project

The Farmers Focused Transformation Phase 2 (FFT 2) project is a five-year initiative running from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2030, focusing on the avocado, banana, and mango value chains in the Oromia and Sidama regions of Ethiopia. The project aims to strengthen 26 farmer organizations (FOs) and benefit more than 51,000 smallholder farmers by promoting resilient, inclusive, and market-oriented horticulture systems.

FFT 2 will support avocado farmers through improved seedling production, better post-harvest handling, storage, and stronger access to premium export markets, while promoting climate-smart and environmentally sustainable farming practices. In the banana value chain, the project will strengthen the distribution of improved varieties, improve production and post-harvest management, and enhance market linkages to increase productivity, reduce losses, and improve farmer incomes.

By 2030, FFT 2 envisions strong, financially sustainable, and well-governed farmer organizations that drive productivity, value addition, and market integration. The project will strengthen the governance, leadership, and financial capacity of FOs, enabling them to become credible agribusiness partners, advocate for farmer interests, and operate as self-sustaining cooperatives integrated across the value chain.

Other agricultural training themes delivered under the project will also be recorded and included in the reporting.

In addition, the role involves supporting the collection, organization and reporting of KPIs, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of data submitted for project monitoring, evaluation and decision-making.
