Purpose of the study is to examine the roles of ASNIKOM in preparing coffee farmers to be included in the chain schemed by This Side Up. Qualitative approach was used to identify problems faced by coffee farmers. For this purpose, in depth interview and FGD as well were used to collect information. Interview questions were made in structured and flexible ways. FGD was organized to focus on critical issues related to structural problems. Literature review was concentrated on structural problems and related concepts such as convertabilty, functionality of structure, knowledges and structuration. Field Schooling is an essential part of active approach to change ways of farming and processing produces for better quality. Findings: structural problems defined by farmers themselves in their own words. Most of them were related to the structural problems identified by Neilson and Schoone. Only about 5% of the problems have been solved through the use of active approach. Conclusions: ASNIKOM has become a mediating structure connecting farmers and consumers through the use of Field Schooling approach. Recommendations: Actors having played in quality improvement need to be included in policy and program developments. Collaboration between ASNIKOM and This Side Up in regenerating Robusta coffee need to be considered for policy development.
