Advancing cooperatives to improve their enabling environment, capacity and resources

Funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), CD4 will strengthen the enabling environment for cooperative organizations through tailored technical assistance to apex organizations and by transitioning the established cooperative learning platform to local ownership. In collaboration with these apex organizations, we will also provide technical support to primary cooperatives to strengthen their business performance and self-reliance. Finally, we will respond to a locally-defined learning agenda to drive local and international research on the Rwandan and Malawian cooperative sectors. We will disseminate the learnings locally and internationally through a large network of cooperative development organizations.
