Encot

ENCOT is an indigenous rural community development micro-credit and rural-enterprise development NGO founded in 2006 by a group of indigenous community development practitioners in Masindi (UGANDA). The Organization was developed as a response to the challenges of poverty and suffering faced by the rural communities in Masindi, most especially the farmers. ENCOT started as an academic research project with an objective of investigating the impact of microfinance on agriculture in Masindi. The research evolved into a fully fledged community development organization meant to improve access to appropriate credit and entrepreneurship development services among the marginalized rural communities in the region.
