Description

The Cooperative Alliance of Kenya (CAK) is the National Apex Organization for Kenya's Co-operative Movement. Following the completion of the new National Co-operative Development, CAK is undergoing re-structuring to align itself to the proposed four tier structure. In essence the membership of CAK going forward would be restricted to the national federations hitherto referred to as national co-operative organizations and associate members. Consequently, the CAK By-Laws are also being reviewed to align with the new provisions.   

The sub-sector specific Federations will draw their membership from co-operative unions whose membership constituted by of over 24,950 Co-operative societies registered in Kenya. Membership of co-operative societies in Kenya is dominated by Savings and Credit societies, referred as to as SACCOs.

CAK was registered on 22nd December 2009 under the Co-operative Societies Act, CAP 490 of 2004, to replace the hitherto National Apex body, Kenya National Federation of Co-operatives (KNFC). The Kenya National Federation of Co-operatives (KNFC) formed in 1964, as the first Apex organization, had the key objective of promoting the development of the Co-operative Movement in Kenya.  It was a member of the ICA from 1966 to 1993 when organisation was dissolved. 

The formation of CAK was a response to the need by the Co-operative Movement to have a single voice in addressing its concerns on the national and international stage. CAK's primary role is that of lobby and advocacy for a favourable legal and policy environment. Also it has the role of collaboration, networking, representation, and the promotion of the growth and development of the Co-operative Movement.

CAK's vision is, ‘Every Kenyan is a co-operator’ which resonates with the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of ‘Leave No One Behind.’  Its mission is to articulate and promote the interests of the Co-operative movement locally and internationally for wealth creation and social development.

CAK currently has 8 federation members. 

The coop movement in Kenya has 24,950 cooperative unions with over 15 million members with mobilized savings of over US$ 6.40 billion or 35% of the National Savings. Those employed in the sector are over 600,000 persons.
