During the House of Bishops meeting—the Church of Uganda’s Board of Trustees—held today at Lweza Training and Conference Centre, Dr. Nelson Tugume, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Inspire Africa Group, presented on the coffee value chain, from cultivation to value addition.

He highlighted the immense potential within coffee growing and its contribution to economic transformation.

Dr. Tugume noted that upon the completion of the Africa Coffee Park in Rwashamire, Ntungamo District, thousands of jobs will be created, and coffee farmers will see significant returns on their investments due to value addition and the exportation of finished coffee products.

He emphasized Inspire Africa Group’s commitment to community development, particularly empowering rural women, through initiatives like the Coffee Marathon and the Africa Coffee Festival.

“The Coffee Marathon, happening on 24th May 2025, and the Africa Coffee Festival, slated for 10th to 12th October 2025, are transformative platforms that unite stakeholders to empower women economically, recognize their contributions, and drive sustainable growth in the coffee sector,” Dr. Tugume said.

He added, “Uganda’s coffee story cannot be complete without acknowledging the backbone of its success—our women farmers. This marathon is a clarion call for stakeholders to come together, celebrate their contributions, and create lasting change that lifts women farmers out of poverty while securing a brighter future for our coffee industry.”

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.

“This partnership aligns with our vision of a faster growing, sustainable Christ centered Church. It will help us to utilize church land for productive ventures that benefit communities and advance economic empowerment,” he stated.

He added, “The land God has entrusted to the Church can become a tool for transforming lives. By planting coffee and embracing value addition, we can improve livelihoods, support community development, and contribute to Uganda’s economy,” he said.

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.
