AN ANALYSIS OF THE DIFFERENT REGULAR SOURCES OF COOPERATIVE FINANCE

ABSTRACT

In the course of this research work topic “An Analysis of the Different Regular Sources of Cooperative Finance project was appraised. This was done in order to evaluate the different ways of financing the cooperative project. In cooperative finance project, a lot of sources are enumerated but the most source of it is the share capital which are contributed by members of the society.

Data for the research work was collected from both the primary and secondary data, which include questionnaire, personal face to face interview etc. The general constraints that militate the achievement of the cooperative project and how it affect the societies at large was also identified.
