Who We Are
The West Africa Specialty Coffee Association (WASCA) is more than just an organization — it is a movement uniting the people behind Africa’s coffee story. From smallholder farmers tending their fields, to roasters perfecting every batch, to baristas creating unforgettable coffee experiences, WASCA brings everyone together under one strong community.
We act as a bridge between tradition and innovation. On one side, we honor the rich heritage of African coffee, its farmers, and its role in local communities. On the other, we drive the industry forward with modern training, global standards, and sustainable practices that ensure Africa’s coffee can stand proudly on the world stage.
Through training programs, certifications, trade events, and direct market connections, WASCA ensures that African coffee is not only grown with care but also recognized, valued, and celebrated across the globe.
