The Voice of Savings and Credit Cooperatives (SACCOs) in Kenya
As the voice and lobbyists for Savings and Credit Cooperatives in Kenya, we at KUSCCO have been at the forefront of efforts to form and develop strong and viable SACCOs.
Our key roles at KUSCCO – as the umbrella body for SACCOs – are mainly advocacy and representation. In addition, we offer SACCOs and other cooperatives financial and technical assistance, tailored to largely benefit the middle and low income earners both in Kenya’s rural and urban areas. This is a significant fraction of Kenya’s population that drives the country’s economy through the small and medium enterprise (SME) engine.
We are aware of the many challenges facing SACCOs in Kenya, which includes, among others, competition from commercial banks in Kenya, insufficient capital base, lack of or slow rate of Information Technology (IT) adoption, and inefficient loan pricing strategies.
We are here to address these problems and strengthen the cooperative movement in Kenya. At KUSCCO, we believe in the strength of unity and have tailored products and services to benefit all the SACCOs and their members in Kenya.
Our Role
We have specially tailored services and products designed to benefit our members and affiliates, who are drawn from the cooperative movement in Kenya.
Vision
As a Union for Savings and Credit Cooperatives in Kenya, we are committed to professional and quality service aimed at growing and developing SACCOs and the cooperative movement in the country.
This is underscored by our vision “To be a world class national co-operative organization for SACCOs.”
Mission
SACCOs in Kenya need dedicated representation and to speak in one strong voice to advance their interests as businesses entities, as well as the welfare of their members. We are at the forefront in this regard and are guided by our mission – “Promotion of SACCOs through advocacy and provision of quality, diversified, innovative and market-driven products and services for sustainability.”
