Book Description
Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: B+, , course: Management, language: English, abstract: Saving and Credit Cooperatives (SACCOs) are the main financial solution of the people who have low income level. But they have their own challenges that retard their financial solution to their members and the economical contribution to a country. In Kalu Woreda, the development of SACCOs is low due to the existence of different challenges. The research design is cross sectional descriptive research. Primary and secondary sources of data were used. Stratified systematic random probability sampling methods were employed to select the sample respondents. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistical methods & simple index model analysis methods. Lack of knowledge and capacity of management committees and poor members’ participation, lack of transparency and accountability, lack of appropriate support from cooperative promoters and NGOs, and non awareness of the existing opportunities by the members are the main findings. Providing member driven services, providing appropriate training, education, and information to all stakeholders, and recommending Micro Financial Institutions to give up their unfair competition with cooperatives are the possible recommendations. Key words: challenges, prospects, saving, credit, and cooperatives.

Book Description
What is the optimal size and composition of Rural Financial Cooperatives (RFCs)? With this broad question in mind, we characterize alternative formation of RFCs and their implications in improving the access of rural households to financial services, including savings, credit, and insurance services. We find that some features of RFCs have varying implications for delivering various financial services. The size of RFCs is found to have a nonlinear relationship with the various financial services RFCs provide. We also show that compositional heterogeneity among members, including diversity in wealth, is associated with higher access to credit services, while this has little implication on households’ savings behavior. Similarly, social cohesion among members is strongly associated with higher access to financial services. These empirical descriptions suggest that the optimal size and composition of RFCs may vary across the domains of financial services they are designed to facilitate. This evidence provides suggestive insights on how to ensure financial inclusion among smallholders, a pressing agenda and priority of policy makers in developing countries, including Ethiopia. The results also provide some insights into rural microfinance operations which are striving to satisfy members’ demand for financial services.

Book Description
The rural saving and credit cooperatives in Ethiopia are believed important tools to implement various development programs and considered as an alternative financial service provider for the rural poor since the regular commercial banks are not attracted and not interested to address high financial demand yet.Conventional Banks can not lend to poor and very small business due to the risk factor that arises from the informal nature of the business of the poor, lack of fixed asset acceptability for collateral, susceptibility to business failure and high transaction cost. Due to this global fact conventional banks in Ethiopia also failed to address the rural poor. Hence, the unmatched high demand for finance and very limited supply necessitates intervention by member owned financial institution dedicated for the interest and Hence, the unmatched high demand for finance and very limited supply necessitates intervention by member owned financial institution dedicated for the interest and well-being of the poor where by the relevance of RUSACCOs is unquestionable. of the poor where by the relevance of RUSACCOs is unquestionable.
