Cooperative Leadership and Learning Events

CLLE combines action research activities with managerial capital to produce strong cooperative leadership, more financially viable businesses and research grounded results.

Working in partnership with CDOs the ICRG initiated learning and leadership events in six sub-Saharan countries.

The ICRG brought together cooperative leaders from six countries to participate in multi-day sessions where knowledge, experience, and training was exchanged amongst participants and international cooperative leaders, culminating in a meeting between the CLE participants and senior government officials in each country.
