The Swedish Cooperative Centre is a development organisation founded by the Swedish Cooperative movement in 1958.

Through long-term development work and “help to self-help” the organisation equips poor people with the tools needed to fight poverty themselves. Through advocacy work the Centre strives to convince more people to take stand for a world free from poverty and injustice. All projects are financed through fundraising and by Sida, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency.

SCC’s primary target group is poor women and men, mainly in rural areas, who are members or potential members of democratic organisations (Co-operative organisations or farmers associations) or informal groups working for common goals. SCCs programmes in Eastern and Southern Africa focus on support to smallholder farmers and their organisations.

SCC also supports the development of savings and credit cooperatives.
