IV.How it can been used

A useful instrument Cooperatives: to defend their autonomy; Cooperative members: to demand good governance in cooperatives; Governments: to revise cooperative polices and laws; Civil society: to advocate policy changes; Trade unions: to promote cooperatives among members; Employers: to broaden outreach.

Some results Guinea-Bissau: new cooperative policy formalized; Romania: autonomy of cooperatives maintained; Turkey: right of workers to create consumer coops in large enterprises has been maintained; South Africa: new cooperative policy and strategy developed; Russia: parliamentary hearing on cooperative development organized on the basis of Rec. 193; Canada (Québec): New cooperative development strategy makes explicit reference to Rec. 193; Colombia: Rec. 193 incorporated into the national development plan. Revival of the cooperative concept in the ILO!

Final word Cooperatives empower people by enabling even the poorest segments of the population to participate in economic progress; they create job opportunities for those who have skills but little or no capital; and they provide protection by organizing mutual help in communities
