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.
