Context 背景

1. Participation Changed the Organic Tea Association and SLA Could Make It Better参与改进了有机茶农协会可持续性生计途径可以做得更好

2. Context 背景 • CNPAP (China-Netherlands Poverty Alleviation Project) in Huoshan County, Anhui Province. Development of Organic Tea is one of the activities. Jinzhuping Village is pilot for that.中荷扶贫项目（安徽省霍山县），发展有机茶是项目支持的活动之一。金竹坪村是试点。 • Activities in the first 2 yeas 项目前两年开展的活动: • Farmers’ Field School: Training on organic tea cultivation, tea collection, etc.农民田间学校：有机茶栽培、管理、采摘等方面的培训。 • Inspectors of technology package: No application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.农民监管员：监督不使用化肥、农药。 • Problems encountered: Limited income increase; even reduced income due to no fertilization (no enough farm manure); reluctant to apply the trained techniques.遇到的问题：收入增加有限，甚至有所减少（因为不使用化肥，有机肥又不够）；不情愿使用培训的技术。

3. Apply Participatory Approach to Analyse Problems and Identify Solutions采用参与式途径研究问题、确定对策 • Mid term review to analyse the problems and identify causes 中期评估分析了问题的原因: • No unified quality and specification and enough scale that market required;农户分散加工形不成市场所要求的统一质量规格和批量； • It was difficult for the poor households who lack education and skill to master the trained techniques and gain benefit from it;那些教育水平和技能低的贫困农户难以掌握所培训的技术，受益困难； • The tea growers had still to spend days and nights to collect, process and sell tea, esp. women).在名优茶生产季节，茶农、特别是妇女还得日夜辛劳，采茶、加工、到市场上销售。

5. Actions Taken 采取的行动 • Equipped with processing machines (project assisted 50% of the investment and had it as the shares of the community of the cooperative);添置加工机械，项目支持50%，作为股份合作中的社区股； • Worked out and implemented the scheme of contract of machinery processing and management (a kind of shareholder cooperation);形成有效的加工机械的承包经营安排； • Cooperation with the county association of tea industry for marketing.和县的茶产业协会合作，解决销售问题。

6. Principles Applied 采用的原则 • Farm households-centred and problem-solving oriented (by having them to participating in the problem and solution analyses, more concerned with the poor households);以农户为中心；提供参与分析、决策机会；重视贫困农户 • Innovation of institutions (shareholder); 机制创新（股份合作） • Emphases on process and actions; 强调过程和行动 • Strengthen the assets (social, etc.) and accesses to (marketing);加强资产（如社会资本）和使用（提供加工、销售服务） • Based on the local entrepreneurship;建立在当地的能力之上（能人）； • Reduced the vulnerability to the market fluctuation;减少市场价格波动影响； • Holistic thinking of problems, causes and countermeasures (not only subject-matter technologies, but with socio-economic perspectives).对问题、原因、对策进行整体思考（不仅考虑技术，还有社会经济方面）

7. Focuses with SLF 在SL框架中的重点 • Emphases on asset status, and农户的资产状况（劳动力、机能、社会资本等） • Institutional environment (services of processing and marketing, cooperatives).体制环境（加工/销售服务、合作组织）

8. Results 结果 • Increased and stabled tea price;名优茶（霍山黄芽）价格的增长、稳定； • Saved a lot of labours and time in processing and marketing, reduced the costs;在茶叶加工、销售等环节节省了农民、特别是妇女的大量劳力、时间，减少了成本； • Continue applying technology package;农民继续采用田间学校培训的技术； • Promoted the private sector to use machineries to process organic tea and the competition, which benefit the tea growers.带动了私人添置加工机械，促进了竞争，使茶农从中受益。

9. Could Be Better with SLA采用SLA可以做得更好 • It was not so success in other villages than Jinzhuping Village where there is favourable natural conditions and reputation;.其它项目村的受益不够显著，因为他们缺少金竹坪村得天独厚的自然条件和名优茶声誉。 • There is still no national or local standard for organic tea quality. – Macro-micro linkages.国家或地方缺少有机茶质量标准，市场价格没有很好体现。 - 宏观 – 微观联系。 • Currently the efforts to restructuring the shareholder cooperative, which protect more the interests of the poor, have not succeeded. The big stakeholders want to do it by themselves – privately. – Sustainability.改进股份合作安排、使之更保护贫困成员利益的调整至今未能成功。股东大户想分出去单干。- 缺少发展工作者的持续协助 – 可持续性。
