Thanks for posting this Jenny.; and for sharing the manual. Much appreciated.
If others know of similar work (coops and Islamic finance), will be certainly useful to hear.
I would also like to take this opportunity to share information about a Masters level course offered by our sister University in Atlantic Canada (St. Mary’s university, Halifax). It is meant for mid to senior level Corporators and managers in financial cooperatives. This year, they are also starting a one year Diploma programme.
Saint Mary’s University and the Sobey School of Business are leaders in co-operative management education. We proudly offer a Master’s degree in Management of Co-operatives and Credit Unions and a Graduate Diploma in co-operative management. These programs provide exceptional management skills to current and future co-operative leaders. Please read our summary program overview.
Best wishes,

Subject: [MFP] NEW: Islamic Finance Manual for Credit Unions
World Council of Credit Unions (www.woccu.org ) just published the first known Islamic finance manual for credit unions in the developing world. Operating principles and procedures were developed and tested throughout World Council's nine-year credit union development work in Afghanistan, where more than 30 Islamic investment and finance cooperatives — the country's first "credit unions" — were established in 14 provinces. The manual is based on international standards for financial cooperatives and is meant to be adapted for countries in the developing world.
