Field work

ste.msc@cbs.dk · 01/02/2023 ·

After many months of preparation, the PACSMAC team’s main field work started in mid-January!

Focus Group Discussions held in the Mbozi, in Tanzania

Both country teams are working hard in the field, conducting a livelihood survey, focus group discussions, semi-structured interviews, and collecting ground truthing points of coffee plots in the selected villages in Tanzania and Ethiopia.

Both teams are making great progress – in the Tanzanian case, even in spite of challenges on the road due to the rainy season, as you can see in the picture on the left. A total of 1,500 surveys and 128 focus group discussion will be conducted in four districts in Tanzania, and 1,000 surveys and 30 focus group discussions in five districts in Ethiopia.

Second Project Meeting

ste.msc@cbs.dk · 31/08/2022 ·

In the end of August 2022 we had our second project meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark. During this one week project meeting we held workshops covering the themes of preliminary fieldwork, data management, and qualitative analysis in NVivo. Further, we finalized the project’s site selection and participated in the DHL run in Copenhagen, as shown in the picture on the right below. In the left picture you can see the team working collaboratively at Copenhagen Business School.

Project Kick-Off

ste.msc@cbs.dk · 31/03/2022 ·

In March 2022 we had our first in person meeting in Usa River, Tanzania since the project started in April 2021. It was very fruitful after working together online for a year to get together to set important project milestones, hold workshops, and develop the PhD’s proposals. Furthermore, it was great to have a first exploratory experience of how the coffee growing region around Mount Meru is like. We further could sharpen the project and its deliverables and started our site selection. In the photo you can see a coffee & banana plantation in front of Mount Meru.
