Africa SACCOs Week focuses on the development of Savings and Credit Co-Ooperatives (SACCOs) in Africa. A SACCO is a “member-based financial institution which operates on cooperative values, identity and principles, which include social responsibility, openness, honesty and caring for each other.” The theme of this year’s conference is digitalization, which can allow SACCOs to grow by becoming more efficient, including by offering electronic loan applications and payments.
Background on the organiser: SNG Events, headquartered in Rwanda, is a company that organises conferences, seminars and trade shows. For example, it presented the Africa Banktech Summit in April 2021.
Cost: Delegate passes for representatives of financial institutions, government entities, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) cost EUR 300 (USD 350). For technology providers, entry for each delegate costs EUR 850 (USD 1,000).
