Policy regarding cooperatives and the cooperative movement

Local cooperative movements are the target-groups of REDA's projects.

The cooperative movement provided excellent opportunities to eradicate poverty.

Recently, the Government adopted measures regarding the financial consolidation of the cooperative movement.

It also promotes the continuing dialogue between cooperatives, the cooperative movement and Member States.

Through its directives, ICA promotes gender equality within the cooperative movement.

Liaison between intergovernmental programmes and the international cooperative movement should be supported.

- A literacy programme has been designed to reach out to 100,000 women through the cooperative movement.

Within the cooperative movement, however, two women were appointed to positions in national decision-making structures.

Capacity-building was required, however, to enable the cooperative movement to have a greater impact.
