While Café Africa International is based in Switzerland, each Café Africa operates as an independent, registered organisation in:
- Uganda (Café Africa Uganda)
- Tanzania (Café Africa Tanzania)
- Democratic Republic of Congo (Café Africa RDC)
Café Africa has also worked in Cameroun.
Café Africa in each country is registered as a national non-profit organization in its host country. Each Café Africa is self-supporting, developing its own programme and raising its own funding, and each is governed by its own board.
