Design and Development of a Co-Operative Society Information Management System

Cooperative societies in Zambia, particularly in rural areas, are increasingly forming to support each other financially. One such society is Nangoma Multi-purpose Cooperative Society Limited, which faces challenges in managing cooperative records due to manual techniques. The study proposes a web-based loan application management system to address these issues. The system, developed using MySQL, PHP, HTML, CSS, and JQuery, focuses on loan application management in a custom manner. This custom-developed system can promote member loan application creation and management within the cooperative society, making it a more effective approach for managing custom operations of cooperative society activities. The system is expected to improve the efficiency of cooperative society operations.
