The ACCOSCA Foundation

The ACCOSCA Foundation

The African Cooperative Development Foundation (ACDF) is the philanthropic arm of ACCOSCA. The initiators of the Foundation are convinced that the institution will contribute significantly in helping SACCOs/CUs in Africa meet the challenges on the continent and bring big opportunities.

Mission

To advance and promote strong co-operatives through education, research and inclusivity.

Vision

Collaborating to improve lives and livelihoods in Africa

The African Confederation of Cooperative Savings and Credit Association (ACCOSCA) and the Africa Cooperative Development Foundation recently launched an ambitious fund-raising campaign with a target of gathering $1.2 million. The funds were intended to create state-of-the-art facilities- new ACCOSCA offices and a modern Training Academy. The campaign’s primary goal was to raise at least $680,000 from American credit unions and their partners. It’s worth mentioning that the ACCOSCA Academy has distinguished itself in attracting renowned credit union practitioners and researchers, offering superior quality training programs, and supplying certifications. The academy aims to equip African credit union leaders from National Associations and SACCOs and also involve legislators and regulators in its activities. Notably, the ACCOSCA Academy is essential for strengthening and growing the African SACCO system while, in the process, improving the standards of living and the livelihoods of African people. As part of these initiatives, the CLIMB AFRICA campaign will hold several training activities culminating in October 2022.

  • Continental awareness of SACCOs/CUs.
  • Cross-fertilization of ideas and strategies to birth innovation
  • Network of regulators to bring thoughtful and effective rules and regulations.
  • Provides a forum to tackle problems and work towards a common goal.
