Role of UCA in the Revival of Cooperatives in Uganda.  

1. Setting up village banks in the 1990s that later became Savings and credit cooperative organizations (SACCOs).
2. Initiating the Area Cooperative Enterprise (ACE) model that gave birth to the new face of cooperatives that diversified into other enterprises and of course being nearer to the farmers as opposed to the old model of cooperative Unions that were far distant from the farmers and concentrated on traditional cash crops: Coffee, Tea, Cotton, and Tobacco.
3. Putting in place a Cooperative linkage model: This is a tripartite model that links a SACCO to ACE/Union and Cooperative members.
4. Supporting Cooperative formation into other sectors of the economy like transport, energy, health, services and Housing.
5. Revival of the cooperative movement which had totally collapsed in the late 1970s, the ’80s and early 1990s.
