It is always a special moment when I get to collaborate with my Partners in Food Solutions (PFS) family, and what better way than to celebrate 15 years of partnership between General Mills and PFS. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with how PFS came to be, I encourage you to watch the video below (spoiler alert: a special group of General Mills employees had something to do with it). It is an incredible story of innovation, determination and standing for good. #GStandsForGood #iwork4generalmills #FoodSecurity

On April 17th, part of Heza Washing Station was taken out by a major landslide. Surrounding communities were impacted as well, an estimated over 400 homes have been destroyed. ⁠ ⁠ When we built Heza, the government coffee board said we must be crazy that this site would act as a micro station. However, our team used our core value of Mwangaza and created a community-centered station that is thriving and producing some of the finest coffees in Africa. ⁠ ⁠ There are many players that feel the impact from devastation, and as a buyer, you might be curious about its implications for you or why it matters. ⁠ ⁠Rest assured, our team quickly came up with a solution for cherry reception so we’re still receiving them at Heza. A landslide can definitely slow logistics temporarily, but we’re still operating as normal.⁠ ⁠ The reality is that climate change is becoming more prevalent across coffee-growing nations every single year, directly impacting the coffee industry. Too little rain means insufficient water supply for tree growth, too much rain means landslides and floods that take out entire plantations and operations. ⁠ ⁠ We value providing quality coffee, and we’re certain you do as well. Your support can make a real difference in ensuring the sustainability of the coffee supply chain. By working together to innovate and adapt, farmers can grow and harvest the coffee that the world enjoys—and together, we can ensure a continued supply of exceptional coffee. ⁠ ⁠ Head to this link to donate to our fundraiser to help repair the damage from the landslide: ⁠ ——⁠ #SpecialtyCoffee #GreenCoffee #CoffeeProducer #AfricanSpecialtyCoffee

Providing an incentive for decarbonization and carbon removal is foundational for carbon markets. Great article.

Somali Communities have raised over USD500,000 since the launch of IOM’s Co-Funding Mechanism. CFM is a community-driven, government-led initiative to identify needs and implement sustainable, inclusive and environmentally conscious projects to address them. Once approved, IOM doubles, triples or quadruples the amount that the communities raise. This approach encourages a culture of peace by bringing different communities, which often include members of conflicting clans, to work together, and increases local ownership and inclusivity, and prioritizes Government leadership, helping communities address the root causes of clan-based conflicts and fostering trust in government structures.” https://lnkd.in/ed7skwqU

Last month, Brazil updated its regulation of partnerships with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to improve public resource management and to democratize access to partnership policy. Now there will be a greater focus on results in social service delivery, social participation and the rights of those working in the third sector. The changes also aim to reduce bureaucracy and increase transparency in public spending. CiSoRise is proud to be building transparency for—and more trust in—CSOs.
