Abstract

Climate change currently impacts coffee production, which necessitates institutional interventions to enhance the resilience of the coffee sector. The study aims to explore the institutional responses to climate change and the factors influencing their decisions in the Ethiopian coffee sector. 44 semi‐structured interviews and 30 focus group discussions were used to address the study question. We identify three types of institutions involved in climate interventions: public, private, and civil institutions. These institutions have contributed by providing information, technology transfer, financial support, and leadership development. Despite their significant contributions, they are influenced by financial constraints, human resource shortages, lack of modern equipment, and farmers' resistance to change. We suggest that policymakers and agricultural practitioners assess the efficacy of climate interventions, identify areas for improvement, and translate these findings into practice to enhance the resilience of the coffee sector. This study advances scientific knowledge by providing insights into sustainable coffee value chains, focusing on how institutions contribute to climate resilience in the coffee industry.
