Loan Rehabilitation & Recovery: Strategic Non-Performing Loan Management for SACCOs Training Course

Introduction

Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) pose a significant threat to the financial health and sustainability of any SACCO. Effective management of NPLs is not just about collection; it's a strategic function that protects member assets, preserves a healthy loan portfolio, and maintains the integrity of the cooperative. This specialized training is designed to equip credit professionals and leaders with the advanced skills and strategic mindset needed to proactively identify, manage, and resolve non-performing loans, transforming a potential loss into an opportunity for recovery.

This intensive program provides a comprehensive framework for the entire NPL lifecycle, from early intervention to legal resolution. Participants will gain practical expertise in data analysis, borrower communication, loan restructuring, and legal procedures. By implementing these strategic approaches, SACCOs can minimize loan losses, improve asset quality, and ensure the long-term profitability of their lending operations. This course is essential for any SACCO committed to building a resilient and well-managed loan portfolio.
