A delegation from Dikwata Savings and Credit Cooperative (Sacco) in Gaborone, Botswana, has completed a two week job shadowing programme across Kenya and Malawi, organised by the African Confederation of Cooperative Savings and Credit Associations (ACCOSCA).
The initiative was undertaken at the request of the Botswana Savings and Credit Cooperative Association (BOSCA), the national umbrella body for Saccos in Botswana. It gave the visiting team a firsthand look at how established credit unions across the continent run their operations.
Lieutenant Colonel Lesego Lecha, Chief Executive Officer of Dikwata Sacco, led the delegation. The programme covered five thematic areas: governance and institutional strengthening, digital transformation, member centric service models, strategic growth and diversification, and institutional partnerships.
ACCOSCA said the exposure was designed to help Dikwata Sacco shape new strategies for sustainable growth and stronger member service back home.
