EU-supported conference on cooperative development
10-12-2018
Around 53 agricultural cooperatives from the areas of Akkar, Hasbaya, Marjey3oon and Tyre took part in the ‘The role of the ideal cooperative’ conference held on Friday at the invitation of ACTED. The event is part of the ‘Support of olive and bee-keeping cooperatives in Lebanon’ project funded by the EU, in partnership with SHEILD and Akkar Development Network. Innovative solutions that could push the role of cooperatives beyond the delivery of traditional services were discussed during this event. Participating experts gave important information and tips on the key laws and regulations governing the cooperative sector in the country. They underlined the need to adopt lessons learnt and best practices from other coops, including proper short and long-term planning and re-evaluation of the market and consumer behavior, hence contributing to a sustainable use of the coops’ financial and human resources. Experts also stressed that enhancing the democratic structures within cooperatives enable coop members to collaborate in economic and social undertakings that pave the way for improved livelihood prospects and the creation of ties with local and international markets.
