On Tuesday, 14 November, representatives from the Alliance’s Global Board, Regional Boards, Sectoral Organisations Boards and Thematic Committees participated in the first joint board meeting to discuss the action plan for the Blueprint for a Cooperative decade.
Alliance President Monique Leroux said: “This joint session showed our efforts to intercooperate, exchange our experiences, strengthening the co-operative model and growing the global movement.”
The meeting is the first one bringing together the various organisations and committee within the Alliance. Participants begun a conversation intended to lead to an integrated, multi-year planning for all structures of the Alliance. Members reviewed a policy guide that results from a survey of the cooperative organisations in almost 30 countries and their policy priorities.
Adopted in 2013, the Blueprint is the Alliance’s global strategy to grow the co-operative movement, focusing on five priority areas: Participation, Sustainability, Identity, Legal Frameworks and Capital.
