Event Details
The International Cooperative Research Group (ICRG), research arm of the U.S. Overseas Cooperative Development Council (OCDC), is pleased to invite you to the first webinar of our newly launched Research Roundup Webinar Series! Join us as we share evidence-based insights from our recently published COVID Resilience Study, hear from cooperative members directly impacted by COVID-19, and explore actions that can be taken to strengthen cooperative resilience at the cooperative, community, and national level.
Project Overview
This primary research was undertaken to identify the major challenges faced by cooperatives in sub-Saharan Africa during COVID-19, as well as strategies employed by cooperatives to mitigate adversities and whether and how cooperatives exhibited resilience during this period.
Through survey interviews and focus groups with rural, agricultural cooperatives in five sub-Saharan African countries, the ICRG collected current data and made comparisons across multiple factors related to cooperative operations against an existing pre- COVID baseline.
