GKCD is an NGO which is fully supported by the German Cooperative and Raiffeisen Confederation, the apex and auditing association of the German Cooperative Organizations and BMZ. The NGO’s mandate is to empower the co-operative sector in Narok and Kakamega County through the establishment of Co-operative Education, Training and Information Centers
(CETICs) at County level. Within this approach, the project assists in developing intellectual, conceptual and consulting capacities of the centers in a manner, that they enables them to provide quality education and training products and services to their member.
The CETICs offers education, consultancy and information services to member co-operatives and others as it is their mission to increase compliance and professionalism among the County Co-operative sectors in Kakamega and Narok through providing affordable access to co-operative knowledge and training.
To achieve this, both CETICs recruited skilled professionals to be trained as qualified associated trainers to the CETICs. To prepare the trainers to deliver CETIC courses in Kakamega and Narok , they underwent a 7 days ‘‘Training of Trainers‘‘ on ‘‘Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship“ and ‘‘Governance and Leadership in Co-operatives/SACCOs“ in October 2019 conducted at Kolping House Kenya, organized by the DGRV project Kenya/ German Kenyan Cooperative Development.
The 2 days ‘‘Financial Literacy and Enterpreneurship“ course was developed to mentor especially young poeple into well prepared business start ups.
The ‘‘Governance and Leadership for Co-operatives/SACCOs“ 2 days training on the other hand, was crafted to further expose staff and management of Co-operatives and SACCOs to professional but basic Co-operative education.
Both courses are now offered by CETIC Kakamega and CETIC Narok in English and Swahili language to their members as well as general public.
