East African Cooperation member states have pledged to strengthen the cooperative movement in the region by enacting laws that will help the societies to access more funds.
At a recent African Ministerial Conference on cooperatives in Kigali, the EAC joined 23 other African states in underscoring the role played by cooperatives in national and socio-economic development.
