Reference timelines. The public competitions reviewed take between 3 and 10 months from opening to results (our calculation with 2026 call documents).
Mapping classification: Co-finances value chain projects led by trade associations such as APPCacao and the Junta Nacional del Café, facilitated by Helvetas. There is no open call for an individual entrepreneur and co-financing implies a counterpart contribution, hence high complexity and partly free.
