Canadian Cooperative Association (CCA)

The Canadian Cooperative Association (CCA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and strengthening cooperative businesses, primarily in developing countries. It promotes the cooperative model—where members collaboratively own and manage enterprises—to foster economic development, social inclusion, and sustainable communities. CCA provides training, resources, and advocacy to help cooperatives grow and succeed, believing that collective ownership and participation lead to better economic opportunities and improved quality of life for communities. Its work aligns with Canada's values of mutual aid, social justice, and international development.
