What does the cooperative movement look like in your country?
The mapping of cooperative actors carried out by the ICA-EU Partnership (#coops4dev) is steadily advancing. Since the launch of the interactive online map, 54 countries are currently available, with other countries forthcoming. Consult the map here.
Through the presentation of available data, the research provides cooperators and anyone with a keen interest in the cooperative movement with a better picture of the cooperative context in their own and in other countries. This knowledge can be crucial in communicating the strength of the cooperative economy, identifying networking and partnership opportunities, and for policy and advocacy efforts. The freely accessible national reports help decision makers and researchers gain easier access to data on cooperatives.
