The overall objective of this project, implemented by E.C.O. on behalf of NABU, the Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union, was drafting a concept for ecotourism development in Kafa Biosphere Reserve, which is in line with the principles of nature conservation and sustainable use. Ongoing processes in the region have been considered (e.g. construction of the National Coffee Museum and the

historical open air museum), but the main task was developing five tour packages in different areas of

Kafa Biosphere Reserve. The locations have been selected amongst the 33 sites surveyed by Jan

Schormann (2010). Moreover, suggestions of the NABU team in Ethiopia have been considered.
