KUALA LUMPUR โ€“ MALAYSIA, 14 SEPTEMBER 2026 (ACCOSCA) The Asian cooperative movement continues to play an active role in advancing the global cooperative landscape, offering invaluable lessons and opportunities for Africa to learn and strengthen its own cooperative movement through strategic partnerships and purposeful collaboration.

Over the past 7 days, ACCOSCA, in close collaboration with its strategic partner, the Association of Asian Confederation of Credit Unions Accu Thailand, has undertaken an immersive Learn and Share initiative in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Participants had a rare engagement with Angkatan Koperasi Kebangsaan (M) Bhd - ANGKASA, Malaysiaโ€™s national cooperative apex body, where they had a front- row insights into ANGKASAโ€™s longstanding cooperative development model and its role in strengthening cooperative enterprises and contributing to national economic development.

The African delegation also had the privilege of joining the global credit union community at the Asian Credit Union Forum 2026, organised by Accu Thailand under the theme, โ€œOvercoming Unspoken Realities: The Transformation & Resilience Era 2026.โ€

The Forum provided a valuable platform for reflection on the future, transformation and resilience of credit unions globally.

On the sidelines of the Forum, the delegation visited leading Malaysian cooperative institutions, including the Malaysia Cooperative Societies Commission, Setiausaha Kursus Institut Koperasi Malaysia, Bank Kerjasama Rakyat Malaysia Berhad, among others. These engagements offered practical insights into cooperative governance and institutional development.

ACCOSCA extends its sincere appreciation to Accu Thailand, under the leadership of Pol. Maj. Gen. Danukrit Kalampakorn, ACCU Thailand President, and Elenita V. San Roque, Chief Executive Officer, for the warm hospitality and invaluable opportunity for the African delegation to experience and learn from Malaysiaโ€™s rich cooperative ecosystem.

ACCOSCA continues to leverage its global strategic partnerships to positively grow, strengthen and create lasting impact within the cooperative movement in Africa - advancing stronger institutions, empowering members and fostering sustainable development across the continent.
