CUA to create awareness on financial empowerment

ACCRA, October 16, 2023 – The Ghana Cooperative Credit Unions Associa­tion [ CUA ] says it will use its 55th anniversary celebration to showcase how it is empowering citizens to gain financial independence and im­pact the Ghanaian economy.

CUA has fixed October 21, 2023 as date for the climax of its 55th Anni­versary in the Eastern regional capital of Koforidua, which will be on the theme: “Savings Mo­bilisation: A Transformational Agenda for Ghana”.

According to a statement issued by the Association in Accra yesterday said Vice President, Mahamudu is expected to be the special guest of hon­our for the event.

CUA Limited is the umbrella body of credit unions in Ghana.  The Association will also use the anniversary to celebrate the International Credit Union [ICU] Movement Day, which marks the 75th ICU Day.

The Credit Union Move­ment in Africa began when the Reverend Father John McNulty introduced the idea and formed the first Credit Union in Jirapa, in 1955.

In 1968, a National As­sociation was conceived and was affiliated with the African Confederation of Co-operative Savings and Credit Association and the World Council of Credit Unions.

Ghana Cooperative Credit Unions Association Limited supervises Credit Unions in the country by promoting, educat­ing, organising, and supporting the Credit Union Movement nationally and internationally.
