“The International Cooperative Research Group, under OCDC, has undertaken important research which shows cooperative membership greatly economically benefits men and women. However there remains more to be done in enabling these benefits to be more widely shared through greater cooperative membership both in urban and pre-urban communities … this study postulates a very important shift that requires involvement of women in the cooperative activities as a critical component to sustainable cooperative development. We know that cooperatives create social and economic growth and it is import that all people have access to cooperatives to fully capitalize on their important impacts. I hope these findings would spur further debate on the role played by women in cooperatives. My department will endeavor to support activities geared towards improving the cooperative sector by increasing the involvement of women as members and leaders.”
