Financial Sector Deepening (FSD) Kenya
Call for Sacco Service Providers
As part of the SACCO reforms project implemented through a partnership between the SACCO Societies Regulatory Authority (SASRA) and FSD Kenya, MicroSave and the Cooperative University College of Kenya (CUCK) are launching a programme to develop capacities of consultants/service providers in:
- individual lending and delinquency management; and,
- risk management for the deposit taking SACCOs.
The programme will consist of a five-day classroom training of trainers and field based consultancy supervised assignment in each of these tracks.
Qualifying consultants in each of these disciplines will be certified for proficiency.
The process is highly competitive and only those meeting the set standards will be certified. It is anticipated that certified consultants will in future provide both training and consulting services as certified services providers (CSPs) to deposit taking SACCOs.

- Experience in training, credit management, delinquency management or risk management is an advantage.
- Trainings are anticipated to be held in mid-October 2013 in each of the two streams.
- Consultants will then undertake consulting assignments in the following two weeks.
- Consultants will not be paid during the classroom training but a stipend will be provided for the consulting assignments.
Applications should include:
- A detailed CV indicating clearly consultant’s experience.
- A covering letter indicating suitability and availability for the training programme.
