The Abidjan Traders’ Cooperative (CCA COOP-CA) is a member-owned cooperative created to organize, empower, and protect traders, artisans, and entrepreneurs—especially those in the informal sector.
Building a strong and self-reliant cooperative community where every member thrives through equitable access to information, resources, and opportunities.
Transparency, solidarity, commitment, and excellence guide everything we do. We believe in the power of collective action to turn challenges into sustainable opportunities.
We organize traders into a structured cooperative community, provide financial education and business support, facilitate access to social and financial solutions, and build strategic partnerships with public and private institutions to expand opportunities for our members.
The CCA believes that every Trader should be able to own their own home—why not?
With this in mind, the CCA has:
identified land opportunities in Abidjan,
engaged in negotiations with landowners for the development of affordable real estate projects for its members,
initiated consultations with urban planners, architects, and public
begun selecting local and international financier-constructors, and real estate developers.
reaching out to government agencies, notably the Presidential Program for Social and Economic Housing (PPLSE), in order to promote the eligibility of our members to the program,
The goal is to enable members:
to become a homeowners,
to benefit from tailored payment solutions,
to be integrated into national housing schemes.
The Mutual Solidarity Fund will afford CCA the financial clout to provide loan guarantees for members at partner financial institutions.
CCA is not the lender but will provide loan guarantees in favor of qualified members.
Contributions to the Mutual Solidarity Fund are voluntary.
Monies contributed remain the property of the member.
The member can withdraw all or part of their contribution at short notice at any time.
Only contributing members can benefit from CCA loan guarantees.
Thanks to the strength of the collective, members can access financing far beyond their individual capabilities.
A home for every trader
We make affordable housing accessible to our members by leveraging our collective strength in structured partnerships.
Your space, your growth
