Africa Cooperatives Institute – Soweto – South Africa

Africa Cooperatives Institute. Our work is that of training our university members to play an active role in the development of resilient, sustainable and futuristic co-operatives, non-profit companies and community based enterprises.

​ACI-SA was founded in January 2017 by three community members of Soweto in Protea Glen, South Africa. The founding of this institute was influenced by a concern to increase access to quality higher education in South Africa and Africa at large. The kind of higher education that ACU-SA seeks to provide is that which focuses on the principles of a shared economy, social innovation and sustainable livelihoods.

​CESU provides services to the community enterprise sector. The services provided by this unit are accessed by nonprofits, co-operatives and community based enterprise through member organisation registration.
