ESTABLISHMENT

The chronological inception of today’s OCSSCO traces back to 1996’s rural project scheme that initiated to provide micro finance service (credit & saving) to farmers in Oromia National Regional State. On January 1, 1996 Oromia Credit & Saving Rural Schemes Development Project/OCSRSDP/ was established under Oromo Self Help Organization/OSHO/ to ensure accessibility of credit to the rural community. After two years, on August 4, 1997, the project was shifted to a microfinance institution and separately established as Oromia Credit & Saving S.C /OCSSCCO/. The successful achievements registered at project level and the issuance of national proclamation number 40/96 that for the first time laid legal ground for establishment of microfinance institutions were among major reasons that created conducive environment for the transition.

LEGALIZATION

OCSSCO is a legally registered and licensed microfinance institution. It is registered by Ethiopian Trade Ministry and licensed by National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE).

SHAREHOLDER & CAPITALIZATION

Later, Dinsho Enterprise transferred its share to Oromia Forestry Enterprise and other six new shareholders including, Burayou, Bishoftu, Sebeta, Nekemte, Shashemene and Jima Municipalities have bought shares of the company.  Now, the number of the shareholders has reached eleven.
