It was decided to strengthen the CP model, as recommended by the Project, to revitalise CPs and improve the provision of credit to rural areas. The new model, revised by the ACC in May 2011, aims to strengthen the legal framework and structure of CPs, change the interaction between ACC and CPs towards more decentralisation in the decision-making process, but at the same time strengthen ACC control on the financial stability of CPs. Thus, CPs and local ACC branches will be able to make independent decisions on issuance of loans (up to a certain limit). The proposed changes are expected to simplify and shorten the process of loan provision, and increase the financial robustness of the system by expanding its membership to larger agricultural producers.
