Since 2014, the Muungano Agricultural Cooperative and OXFAM Belgium have developed a structured partnership around three axes:
- Organisational strengthening: leadership training, improved cooperative governance, participatory audits.
- Gender equality: establishment of the Women's Programme, GALS training, equitable access to resources and decision-making.
- Market access: Fairtrade and Organic certification, participation in international trade fairs (SCA Expo, World of Coffee), development of relationships with specialty roasters.
Result: over 10 years, the average household income of members has increased by more than 40%, and the cooperative has grown from 2,200 to 4,300 active members.
