Co-operative Governance

Co-operative governance refers to the system by which co-operatives, which are member-owned organizations, are managed and controlled. It emphasizes democratic decision-making, where each member has a say and votes on important issues. This governance model promotes transparency, accountability, and ethical practices, ensuring that the interests of all members are considered. Co-operative governance typically involves structures like a board of directors elected by members, regular meetings to discuss operations, and policies that align with the co-operative’s values and mission. Overall, it aims to foster collaboration and collective benefit among its members.
