Kenya Coffee School & Barista Mtaani
Good Trade Certification (G4T) Studies – Beyond Fairness
#OSE | Open Skills Education
Delivered by Kenya Coffee School in collaboration with Barista Mtaani, this advanced module explores Good Trade Certification (G4T)—a locally founded framework by Alfred Gitau Mwaura—that goes beyond fairness to build transparency, equity, and long-term value across the coffee chain.
What “Beyond Fairness” means
G4T moves past minimum compliance to focus on real value distribution, producer dignity, data-backed transparency, and shared prosperity—from farm to final market.

- Governance & Ethics: trust, transparency & stakeholder responsibility
- Quality + Trade: linking quality systems to fair market outcomes
- Market Readiness: documentation, buyer engagement & storytelling
- Impact Measurement: social, environmental & economic indicators
- Alignment & Recognition: how G4T complements global expectations (incl. EUDR-ready practices)
