Network participants
Federations, network bodies, shared-service teams, and programme coordinators supporting multiple SACCO or MFI institutions.
Partners
SACCO / MFI Networks
Network-level discussions should define the group structure, shared controls, and rollout order before any common delivery model is assumed.

Network Delivery Model
SACCO and MFI Network Programmes Depend on Understanding How the Group Is Organised and Which Responsibilities Are Shared
The main question is usually how the network is organised and which functions are shared, controlled centrally, or left to each participating institution.
The opening discussion should not jump to product claims. It should establish the network structure, the support model, and the order in which institutions or services would move.
Coordination questions
How the group is structured, which controls are shared, what reporting sits at network level, and how rollout sequencing should be handled.
Useful network detail
Network structure, institution mix, shared services in scope, reporting expectations, and the coordination questions needing early review.
Programme Structure
Map the Network Structure and Rollout Order Before Institutions Are Grouped into One Delivery Plan
Group structure
Clarify whether the network operates through a federation, shared-service layer, branch hierarchy, or separate institutions under one programme.
Shared controls
Identify which approvals, reporting responsibilities, support functions, and operational rules sit at network level versus institution level.
Rollout order
Decide whether the programme starts with a pilot group, a central service layer, or a phased institution-by-institution rollout.
Next step
Start with the Network Structure and the Shared Responsibilities
That gives the team enough context to judge whether the next step is pilot planning, support design, or a broader rollout conversation.
