The improvement of collaboration between Cooperative Development Organizations, members of Cooperative Networks like the International Cooperative Development Platform (ICDP), is one of the main objectives of the ICA-EU Partnership. To achieve that, The ICDP has already identified 3 areas of work: Knowledge sharing, programming and advocacy.

The film "Renewable energy coops in Costa Rica: a fair model for a clean future" presents three rural energy cooperatives that provide sustainable economic, social, and environmental development, by distributing clean energy in all corners of the country: from the urban areas to the most remote settlements.

The Coop Academy is a new #coops4dev? capacity-building initiative consisting of a series of knowledge-sharing webinars for ICA staff members from all offices. It will help them acquire new skills and better promote the cooperative model.
