IACO-Newsletter 2:BRIDGING POLICY AND PRACTICE: TRANSLATING COFFEE COMMITMENTS INTO ACTION
Details
Dear Esteemed Members and Partners,
It is with great
pleasure that I welcome you to the second issue of the IACO Newsletter, our
platform to reflect on our shared journey, amplify voices across our member
states, and communicate the dynamic developments shaping Africa’s coffee
landscape.
Building on the
momentum of our inaugural edition, this issue under the theme “Bridging Policy and Practice,” focuses
on translating our shared vision into tangible results that impact stakeholders
in the coffee value chain.
Across the
continent, we are witnessing a renewed commitment to strengthening coffee value
chains through inclusive policy reform, capacity building, and sustainable
innovation. From the progress being made in adapting to evolving global
frameworks like the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), Africa’s coffee sector
is entering a new chapter defined by resilience, creativity, and collaboration.
Yet, this progress
does not happen in isolation. It requires strong partnerships, a harmonised
regulatory framework, and sustained technical and financial support. As we move
forward, IACO remains committed to its role as a catalyst—aligning technical, action
and advocacy support in ways that reflect our collective aspirations for a
sustainable and competitive African coffee sector.
I invite you to
explore the stories, updates, and opportunities shared in this issue. Together,
let us continue building a future where African coffee is not only globally
competitive but also a powerful driver of local empowerment and inclusive
growth.
“Bridging policy and
practice is not just a goal—it is a shared responsibility to deliver real value
to stakeholders across the coffee value chain.”
