Uganda forum urges digital growth and ESG in microfinance
Microfinance organizations, like cooperatives and Saccos, are being urged to leverage digital technologies to drive growth and sustainability while prioritizing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. The call came as the Uganda Development Forum met for its annual 2024 conference at the Pakuba Safari Lodge in Kabalega National Park. During the meeting, the Uganda Institute of Banking and Financial Services called for more support for cooperatives, as they play a critical role in fostering financial inclusion and community development.
