The International Trade Centre (ITC), in cooperation with the International Women’s Coffee Alliance (IWCA), supports the establishment of women’s associations in the coffee sector, so-called IWCA country chapters. The project focuses primarily on East Africa. IWCA chapters empower women in the coffee sector through a national and international network of peers – a way of cooperating that has worked well in Central America for several years. Through the chapters women work together to solve issues they face collectively, advancing socially and economically. The project includes components on leadership training, micro-finance and branding and is available to coffee entrepreneurs primarily in Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda.
