The Church of Uganda has initiated discussions with Inspire Africa Coffee to boost coffee growing and value addition as part of its strategies to put its idle land into productive use.


The partnership aims to leverage church land and community networks to create transformative economic opportunities within the coffee value chain. The discussion arose during the House of Bishops meeting—the Church of Uganda’s Board of Trustees- on Wednesday at Lweza Training and Conference Centre. 

During the meeting, Dr. Nelson Tugume, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Inspire Africa Coffee, presented the coffee value chain, from cultivation to value addition. He highlighted the immense potential of coffee growing and its contribution to economic transformation.

The Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, The Most Rev. Dr. Stephen Samuel Kaziimba Mugalu, commended Inspire Africa Group for this initiative and pledged the Church’s support.

According to Archbishop Kaziimba, the Church of Uganda is a significant stakeholder in the coffee business, with several Dioceses making substantial investments in coffee cultivation as a pathway to sustainable development.
