Financial Sector Deepening (FSD) Kenya recognises the critical

SACCOs are one of the leading sources of rural finance and in many
rural areas the local SACCO is the only provider of financial
services. In a recent review by Accenture on behalf of the FSD

Investors In People (IIP)

Investors in People is the national UK Standard which sets a
level of good practice for training and development of people to
achieve business goals. The Standard was developed during 1990 by
the National Training Task Force in partnership with leading
national business, personnel, professional and employee
organisations such as the Confederation of British Industry (CBI),
Trades Union Congress (TUC) and the Institute of Personnel and
Development (IPD). The work was supported by the Employment
Department. The experiences of the UK's most successful
organisations, large and small, representing all sectors of the UK
economy, were very positive and the Standard received the full
endorsement of the wide range of interested parties
