FFOU is implementing Fishing community strengthening and Business Development
Services Project aiming at empowering the fisheries Community to improve
their livelihoods through promoting effective cooperative movement, business
development and job creation along fisheries value chains.
a) Strengthening Fisheries’ Credit and Savings Cooperative Societies through
trainings.
Improving operational performance is among key targets by savings and
credit cooperative societies (SACCOS). Among the major strategies to improve
performance of various kinds in SACCOS is the provision of education and training
to enable the implementation of daily activities. SACCOS need continuous provision
of education and training to the Board, members and management as a means to
build capacity needed to attain the desired needs and aspirations. Therefore it is
important to train and educate co-operative members to enhance their capacity
to bring optimum results and promote sustainability of their organizations.
The ultimate objective of the project is to equip the selected fisheries SACCOs with
the basic knowledge in starting and operating professional SACCOs which meets its
member’s needs.
Specific objectives of intervention:-
● Build awareness among members of the SACCO’s purpose and how they
own, control and benefit from the SACCO.
