Credit Union Development Education (CUDE)

Credit Union Development Education (CUDE) is a comprehensive training program designed to deepen understanding of cooperative principles, financial inclusion, and social responsibility within the credit union movement. It equips participants—often credit union staff and volunteer leaders—with insights into how credit unions can promote economic empowerment and community development. Through a combination of lectures, discussions, and practical exercises, CUDE fosters leadership skills and a global perspective, encouraging participants to apply best practices that support financial well-being for underserved populations and strengthen the cooperative finance model worldwide.
