Promoting Co-operatives, A guide to ILO Recommendation 193

The guide is designed to introduce the international policy guideline International Labour Organisation (ILO) Recommendation 193 which provides a framework for cooperatives in the 21st century. The guide helps understand how the 'Recommendation' provides a basis for law and policies on cooperatives as well as how and why there is a need to campaign for cooperatives. Designed to be used in all parts of the world, the publication is written in a simple format to enable ease in translation. It is the result of a collaborative effort of the Co-operative College of the United Kingdom, the International Labour Office (ILO) and the International Co-operative Alliance (ICA).
