Co-operative Development
Co-operative development is the process of creating and strengthening co-operatives—businesses owned and operated by their members who share in the benefits. It involves planning, training, and resource support to help groups organize, manage, and grow their co-op effectively. The goal is to empower members to work together towards common economic, social, or community interests, while ensuring democratic decision-making and equitable distribution of profits. This development fosters sustainable local economies, enhances community resilience, and promotes shared prosperity through collective effort and mutual support.
