Financial Services Associations (FSAs) Transformation
Financial Services Associations (FSA5) are membership based financial organisations offering credit, savings and money transaction services to their members.
There
are now about 80 operating FSAs in various partsof the country.
The
primary objective in establishing the ESA model in Kenya was to
significantly push forward the frontier of sustainable financial service provision
in more remote geographical areas where mainstream micro-finance institutions
(M FIs) and commercial banks were not operating.
K-Rep
Fedha Services Ltd (KFS) was established to provide management services and
supervision to the FSAs on a commercial basis.
Since 2005, a transformation of the strategy for promotion of the ESA model has been undertaken in two phases through a pilot in Makueni and Kitui regions.
The
first phase laid strong foundations for the transformation of the ESA network
into a sustainable decentralised financial system while the second was put in
place in 2007 to further refine the new ESA model developed in the first phase
and roll it out across the wider ESA network.
KFS
has received support from a development partner for a final transformation
phase (ESA Ill) which is expected to realise transition of the KFS-FSA network
into prudential regulation and growth to support operational
self-sustainability.

transformation project.
