1.9 Building local development through cooperatives: Working Out of Poverty
   

Participation and inclusion are central to a new approach to poverty reduction.

Cooperatives are an ideal instrument in such a strategy, and the ILO has long drawn on the strength of the movement. Meeting the challenges of globalization requires strong local communities, strong local leadership and strong local solutions. Cooperatives have proved to be a key organizational form in building new models to combat social exclusion and poverty, for example through local development initiatives. Cooperative members learn from each other, innovate together and, by increasing control over livelihoods, build up the sense of dignity that the experience of poverty destroys.

About the Author


International Labour Organization
(Visit International's Website)
As the world's only tripartite multilateral agency, the ILO is dedicated to bringing decent work and livelihoods, job-related security and better living standards to the people of both poor and rich countries. It helps to attain those goals by promoting rights at work, encouraging opportunities for decent employment, enhancing social protection and strengthening dialogue on work-related issues. The ILO is the international meeting place for the world of work. We are the experts on work and employment and particularly on the critical role that these issues play in bringing about economic development and progress. At the heart of our mission is helping countries build the institutions that are the bulwarks of democracy and to help them become accountable to the people. The ILO formulates international labour standards in the form of Conventions and Recommendations setting minimum standards of basic labour rights: freedom of association, the right to organize, collective bargaining, abolition of forced labour, equality of opportunity and treatment and other standards addressing conditions across the entire spectrum of work-related issues.
