Savings and Credit Cooperative Annual (SACCA) Congress will be held in Kenya later this year. Plans to host the 2024 SACCA Congress in the country have started in earnest with the constitution of a high-level working group.
The Congress will go along the same lines as the previous Continental Congresses that made important contributions towards the progress of Saccos focusing on a holistic approach toward community resilience in the continent and beyond, based on the collective capacity of people helping people.
