Cooperative Development in Peru: A Legacy of USAID Assistance

The International Cooperative Research Group (ICRG) of the U.S. Overseas Cooperative Development Council (OCDC) has carried out a series of Legacy Studies describing USAID’s programmatic influence through its investments in cooperative development. In conjunction with other studies carried out in Poland, Kenya, Philippines, and Peru under the ICRG’s “What Difference Do Cooperatives Make?” research initiative, the Legacy Series examines what, if any, lasting effects of United States Agency for International Development (USAID) assistance to the cooperative sector can be observed in each of the four countries today (Poland, Kenya, Philippines, and Peru).
