Key Objectives of SACCO governance and leadership consultancy

A targeted governance consultancy offers more than advice—it delivers actionable change. Below are the key objectives driving our approach:

  • Assess existing governance systems and detect structural or operational gaps.

  • Train board members and leadership on global best practices in governance.

  • Enhance policies and internal frameworks for stronger leadership performance.

  • Promote ethical behavior and accountability within all levels of leadership.

  • Ensure SACCO compliance with regulatory standards and cooperative values.

Phase 1: Comprehensive Governance Assessment

The journey begins with a deep dive into your SACCO’s current governance model. This includes:

  • Reviewing internal governance documents such as policies, board structures, and bylaws.

  • Conducting interviews with board members, management, and stakeholders.

  • Performing a governance maturity analysis to uncover strengths and gaps.

  • Delivering a detailed gap analysis report with clear improvement areas.

This stage lays the foundation for targeted improvements and informed decision-making.

Phase 2: Capacity Building Through Training

Effective governance demands knowledgeable leadership. Our training phase provides customized workshops for both board members and top management. These sessions focus on:

  • Understanding board roles and legal responsibilities.

  • Managing risk and ensuring regulatory compliance.

  • Cultivating ethical leadership and handling conflicts of interest.

  • Boosting board performance and developing a succession plan.

Workshops are interactive, practical, and tailored to your SACCO’s real-world challenges.

Phase 3: Policy and Structural Review

For SACCO governance to be sustainable, structures and policies must align with best practices. In this phase, we:

  • Review and revise your board charter for clarity and relevance.

  • Update the code of conduct to reflect high ethical standards.

  • Strengthen your conflict of interest policy for transparency.

  • Realign committee structures and reporting lines for efficiency.

These updates ensure that governance is not only strong but also future-ready.
