About Kaza Principles

A serious record of Uganda's cooperative movement — and a platform for the voices inside it.

Kaza Principles Magazine chronicles the full cooperative movement across Uganda and East Africa — SACCOs, agriculture, health, housing, transport, policy, and leadership. Our mission is to produce editorial that is credible enough to carry paid subscriptions and welcoming enough to publish a first-time community contributor in the same issue.
