Learn and Share Initiative – England

At the intersection of global finance, institutional innovation and a rich tradition of cooperative enterprise, England offers a compelling destination for African cooperative leaders seeking fresh perspectives on the future of financial services. The ACCOSCA Learn and Share Initiative in England provides an opportunity to examine the evolution of Britain’s credit union and mutual financial sector, with particular emphasis on regulatory frameworks, consumer protection, financial technology, responsible lending and sustainable institutional growth. Through engagements with financial institutions, cooperative stakeholders and industry experts, the African delegation will explore practical approaches to strengthening member confidence, diversifying financial products, improving operational efficiency and expanding access to affordable financial services.
