Co-operative Index
The Co-operative Index measures how well a cooperative organization functions based on factors like leadership quality, participation, transparency, and community impact. It evaluates the organization’s ability to work together effectively, make democratic decisions, and serve its members' interests. Essentially, it provides a score or ranking that reflects the cooperative’s health, efficiency, and social contribution. This helps members, stakeholders, and regulators understand the cooperative’s strengths and areas for improvement, fostering accountability and encouraging sustainable development within the cooperative movement.
