How do I form a cooperative in Lebanon?
If you are an individual who would like to work with other women collaboratively, you can start a cooperative.
To start a cooperative, reach out to your neighbors and friends who hold the same production interests as you. For example, if you are skilled in cooking or baking, find women who are interested in manufacturing the same products as you.
