Executive Summary
Actions developed for the strengthening of PROMECAFE through the coordination of the
Integrated Plan to Combat Coffee Rust. This coordination has established actions in order
to harmonize the agendas and concrete activities to reduce the level of incidence of rust
in the coffee plantations and, in an integrated manner, to contribute to a solution of short
and medium term. At date the Program has been integrating the information in a regional
level through virtual and face to face meetings with stakeholders to promote the
incorporation of other organizations such as exporters and NGO’s that are joining efforts
on the Integrated Plan implementation.
Contributes to result:

III)
Status report
General level
• The workplan established for the coordination of plan Rust, do not specify the allocation
of funds for own initiative activities.
• The agenda of actors competing for resources has a low teamwork organization.
• Internal changes had occurred in the institutions, that limits the activities already
planned in 2013 (it includes Institutes of Coffee and PROMECAFE).
Specific Level
4
Coffee Institutes
Workshops were undertaken, nevertheless, it was detected low coordination in order to
follow up agreements gathered.
USAID-RUTA
During the first year (2014) poor communication for coordinating the Plan to Combat
previous Rust, especially with the heads of the two components 1 and 2 of Ruta Program
and staff communication and monitoring and evaluation.
PROMECAFE
There is a lack of information about previous coordination, thus, it has been difficult for
the networking during one year. In several moths the position was not covered. (4-5
months).

Results
1. To establish more direct relationships with Coffee Institutes in the Region,
especially those who were personally visited.
2. To improve the participation of RUTA-PROMECAFE, in response to the initiatives of
each country.
3. To have a better coordination with CATIE, work started in 2013 and 2015 calendar.
4. To coordinate activities with the team of RUTA (Implementation Monitoring and
Evaluation and Knowledge Management).
4.1
Component 1- Integrated Management for Combating Coffee Rust
Identification of the technical management of each country to combat coffee rust
Promotion Campaigns Phytosanitary to consider climate variables for decision-making.
Creating a technology package, high value for small producers. A regional workshop will
be coffee in Costa Rica.
Coordination tools available on Early Warning to unify into a single system. A workshop
will be held during the month of May to unify the efforts of the several stakeholders.

4.2
Component 2- Research to Combat Coffee Rust
This component is managed by the Coordination of WCR and which activities are
coordinated with the Coordination Plan to Combat Coffee Rust.
The focus is:
a) Strengthen PROMECAFE and National Coffee Associations
b) Provision of seed varieties resistant
c) Characterization of rust races present in the region
d) Research on the impacts of climate change on coffee plantations
e) Research topics related to coffee rust.
This quarter interventions were:
Assist in the coordination of work on the development of the catalog of varieties in the
region.
Gather information on the Impacts of Climate Change in coffee producing areas.
4.3
Component 3- Care for Vulnerable Population Coffee Sector
This component was the first immediate response to the crisis created in 2013, by the
severity of coffee rust. The program is implemented by the World Food Programme and
FAO.
This quarter was better coordination with actors such as FEWS NET and technical staff of
coffee institutes
Is expected to publish jointly with WFP and FAO, reports Food Safety Diagnostics to assess
the level of intervention required in coffee producing areas of the region.
4.4
Component 4- Institutional Strengthening to Combat Rust Coffee and
Productive Capacity Recovery.
Identifying the needs of the countries visited during January-March, to strengthen the
technical and operational capacity to combat coffee rust.
9
The need for many countries to have a study on existing financial mechanisms in the
region to facilitate access to credit established.
This includes some countries that have used government credit lines, trust coffee or the
participation of specialized MFIs sector. This study is expected during the second quarter
of 2015.
It was determined that several countries need to establish mechanisms for the renovation
of coffee smallholders. The critical variable is the development of resistant seeds and
propagating material to bring them coffee nurseries and then to the coffee growing areas
that need it.
A first digital newsletter Rust and its effects at the regional level through the website
RUTA Program.
The quarterly newsletter highlighting them climate variability and its impact on vulnerable
coffee plantations Coffee Rust was reviewed with FEWS NET.

Second Quarter Expectations
It will continue to coordinate the regional and country actions to combat coffee rust. Is
a priority to promote the work on integration activities and increased communication
between actors.

Workshop on “ Caficultura Moderna”-Costa Rica (FAO Funds)
Workshop on Expert Systems Early-Warning Costa Rica
Workshop on Food Safety CEPAL-San Pedro Sula , Honduras (CEPAL Funds)

Webinar "Let's Talk coffee rust"
VI) Conclusions:
It is considered that the initial limitations were overcome and there are areas of
opportunity that facilitate coordination work with all actors.
There is interest to continue supporting the Plan to Combat Rust Coffee, with several
stakeholders and interested to join this effort. For this purpose is considered that the
rust Congress is the perfect platform to integrate the efforts of all.
Emphasis will be placed in the second quarter in the search for more actors in the
financial sector to support the efforts of each country with focus small producers.
