• Understanding of and involvement in sustainability amongst all stakeholders is limited. The Business Case Study provides an opportunity to mobilise stakeholders.
• Introduce components on climate change and finance into the programme.
• Some of the standards are considering revision of Codes of Conduct, this provides opportunities for more emphasis on GAPS and PHH for true sustainability
• Through the National Steering Committee and Districts, there is an opportunity to place Sustainability more firmly on the «agenda» in Uganda’s coffee sector.

and improve access to it• Develop what is missing• Cooperate to a larger extent In the
sector• Next forum in Bujumbura• All presentations available next week at
www.sustainableafricancoffee.org
• Productivity is a prerequisite for Sustainability
• Need to empower women and youth as it is evident training them leads to increased productivity

• There is an increased commitment from roasters towards sustainability of the chain with large financial investments for instance with the Nescafe Plan and Coffee Made Happy and working towards 100% sustainable supply chains.
