PRESENTATION

WHAT IS SIKAPA COOPERATIVE MULTIPURPOSE ASSOCIATION

(Sikapa CMA)

SIKAPA CMA for short, though multifaceted in nature, is engaged in the promotion of SMART AND SUSTAINABLE FARMING of vegetables.

Its operations are powered with High Technology provided by Waltergates Ghana Limited and its membership is driven by a rewarding affiliate system.

The IT environment makes it easy for members to sign up and transact business in the comfort of their homes, work places or “on the go” by the use of PCs and mobile devices devoid of the hassle of modern day Traffic congestions. It also encourages the use of mobile money, visa and other electronic payment systems.

An Overview of Cooperatives

A Cooperative is "an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly-owned and democratically-controlled enterprise“

In Ghana, cooperatives were first introduced in 1928 in an attempt to improve the quality of cocoa for export. They were so successful that, by 1960, the cooperatives were marketing almost 40% of the entire cocoa crop. At the end of 1996, there were as many as 11,154 registered cooperatives in Ghana.

An Overview of Cooperatives

Millions of people in many countries around the world today have organized to

provide themselves with goods and services in a cooperative way. These organizations

are called Cooperative Societies and there are many types in Ghana. These

organizations have been classified into four distinct categories:

1. Agricultural cooperatives: Engaged in food production, processing and marketing.

2. Industrial cooperatives: Involved in rural cottage industries such as local alcohol

distillation, handicrafts, Kente weaving, cloth dying and manufacturing, etc.

3. Financial cooperatives: Engaged in savings mobilization in both rural and suburban areas. For example: micro-loan banks, credit unions and „susu‟ collectors.

4. Service cooperatives: Involved in the service industry such as transport, consumer

societies, etc.

5. Multipurpose cooperatives: Engage in the combination of all the above categories.
