Background of the Study
Cooperative societies play a vital role in the economic development of local communities by providing members with access to affordable credit, business opportunities, and social welfare programs. In Kebbi State, cooperative societies are particularly important in the agriculture sector, where they help small-scale farmers access loans, purchase inputs, and improve productivity. These societies also facilitate the pooling of resources for mutual benefit, especially in rural areas where access to banking services is limited.
However, despite their importance, many cooperative societies in Kebbi State face challenges in achieving financial sustainability. Issues such as poor management practices, inadequate capital, lack of financial literacy among members, and weak regulatory oversight have led to financial instability in many cooperatives. Furthermore, the limited availability of financial resources, inadequate training programs, and challenges in maintaining member participation can hinder the sustainability of these societies.
This study aims to examine the financial sustainability of cooperative societies in Kebbi State, focusing on the factors that affect their ability to maintain operations and continue providing valuable services to their members. The findings of this research will help inform policies and strategies to enhance the sustainability and effectiveness of cooperative societies in the state.
