About MEFBA
MEFBA is a social enterprise, pioneering a community based climate adaptation livelihoods agroforestry project with a plan to integrate biocarbon credit offsetting as an additional revenue stream model as it fights poverty and working with sustainable agriculture and land management through agroforestry with a strong gender bias – growing trees alongside crops and livestock.
We do this together with small-holder farming families and farmers’ organisations in the districts of eastern and central Nepal. Agroforestry provides increased access to food, access to sustainable energy sources and more income.
Agroforestry also contributes to the mitigation of climate change and protects against the negative effects of climate change. Since its inception in 2019, MEFBA under MRIDA: SDG Women Earth Coalition has reached over 1.5 lakhs people and undertaking coffee/cacao agroforestry with 10 million arabica coffee and the planting of over 1 million native and economically beneficial trees.
The Coffee Agroforestry Biocarbon Project

The Project Coordinator will be based in Kathmandu. Extensive domestic travel is expected.
The action will strengthen smallholder coffee cooperatives as a key enabler of support services that enable increased production, processing and trade of coffee/cacao/medicinal& aromatic plants/forest honey/bamboo/chuiri butter produced by smallholders in the provinces 1 and 3. It also seeks to stimulate trade-led economic growth by strengthening the competitiveness of smallholder coffee producers (both women and youths), promoting investments and jobs creation along the coffee/cacao/medicinal& aromatic plants/forest honey/bamboo/chuiri butter value chains.
The project coordinator will have the overall responsibility for the successful initiation, planning and implementation of the project, including responsibility for palika/provincial/national and community dialogues and cooperation, with a broad network of stakeholders. Coordination and strengthening of the partnership between the lead applicant, the four implementing organisations, farmer cooperatives, coffee value chain actors and the government is crucial for successful implementation of the project.
