Uganda, April 17 -- Savings and Credit Cooperatives (SACCOs) serve as a vital bridge to financial inclusion for Uganda's unbanked populations, particularly those in rural areas. Long criticized for rudimentary operations that have hindered their growth and outreach, SACCOs are now transforming through modern technology tools. The rapid expansion of mobile phone access and mobile money, which reached 33.7 million accounts nationwide with a transaction value of USD 167.3 billion in 2025, is enabling these institutions to reach more people and scale effectively. NTV Business's Rachael Nabisubi explores how SACCOs in the rural Kigezi region are harnessing technology to drive deeper financial inclusion.
