ICA 2026–2030 Strategy: Practice, Promote and Protect

03 Nov 2025
ICA Strategy 2026 - 2030

This strategy sets out the International Cooperative Alliance’s vision and priorities for the period 2026 to 2030. Grounded in the Cooperative Identity and developed through a global participatory process, the strategy outlines how the cooperative movement will respond to today’s most pressing challenges—economic, social, environmental, and democratic.

The publication details a forward-looking roadmap based on three guiding principles:

  • Practice: Living cooperative values in action
  • Promote: Raising the visibility and appeal of the cooperative model
  • Protect: Safeguarding cooperative identity, autonomy, and governance

Structured around five strategic pillars and supported by a clear Theory of Change, this strategy aims to strengthen cooperatives worldwide, expand their market share, and deepen their contribution to sustainable development.
