Historical

CECADM is a third category microfinance institution, that is to say mutualist type. It is based on solidarity and equality of members. It collects Savings, grants Credits to its members and offers other services necessary to members for their well-being.

Members of the defense and security forces benefited from specific financial products from specialized financial institutions, notably CADEBU (Caisse d’Epargne du Burundi).

Its closure in 1990 led to enormous difficulties in accessing the products usually required by the military and the like (Savings and loans).

This bankruptcy gave rise to the idea of ​​creating the Savings and Credit Cooperative for Self-Development “CECADM”.

In 1994, another financial institution called CAMOFI (Caisse de Mobilization et de Financement) came to supplement the services of CADEBU but it was not well specialized in the needs of the military and it closed its doors in 1998.
