Ukraine Credit for Agricultural Producers (CAP)

WOCCU’s Credit for Agriculture Producers (CAP) Project (2016-2023), is improving the legal, regulatory, and market environment for credit unions in Ukraine and building credit union capacity to both promote growth and reduce risk, while expanding access to credit for rural and agricultural micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Specifically, CAP works with the Regulator (the National Bank of Ukraine [NBU] as of July 2020) and legislators to update the legal and regulatory framework for credit unions and supports the credit union national associations and United Credit Unions (UCUs) to better serve their members and access liquidity to meet demand for agricultural lending. CAP also works directly with a group of credit unions through its Agricultural Lending Working Group (AGLWG) to build their capacity to expand agricultural lending.
