By Dr. Judith A. Hermanson, José Antonio Eguigure-Castillo, and Dr. Barbara Czachorska-Jones

This research report, What Difference Do Cooperatives Make in Central America (WDDCM)?, provides a comprehensive overview of the data from Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala, offering a ‘big picture’ perspective on the social and economic impact of cooperatives across the region. While the report presents findings from each country individually, it highlights a clear, overall positive pattern that emerges consistently across all three. By comparing cooperative members with a representative control group of non-members, the report further explores this trend through the lens of migration (specifically, movement out of the country).
