A new member joined the ICA in May: Cooperativa de Ahorro y Credito ELGA (COOP ELGA ) from Honduras.
COOP ELGA was initially set up in 1963 to provide financial services to employees of the US Agency for International Development and the International Agency for Development. In 1988 the employees converted the business into a savings and credit cooperative that is now open to the public. They joined the ICA to access training for members, employees and stakeholders, form alliances with other cooperatives and exchange best practices.
