At EFICO and EFICO FOUNDATION , we helped funding, developing, testing and finalising Equal Origin’s ‘Gender Equity Index’ tool. This tool is free to use and now available in three languages.

Two different studies are currently available: one for Extension and Advisory Service Providers (EAS) and one for producer organisations.

Those curious about the tool and reports can sign up for an Equal Origins account via their website: equalorigins.org

Our goal is to further use the tool with other partners and multiply the positive trigger effect.

We highly suppport initiatives as The Global Coffee Platform ’s Sustainability Reference Code, the Commitment’s Hub of Sustainable Coffee Challenge, the programs and trials of World Coffee Research and Equal Origin’s Gender Equity Index Tool.
