ILO’s participation in the consultations on the cooperative act and policy in Trinidad and Tobago
The ILO took part in the consultations on the national policy on cooperatives and the Co-operative Societies Act held by the Ministry of Labour and Small Enterprise Development in Trinidad and Tobago.


Virginia Rose-Losada, the Sustainable Enterprises Specialist of the ILO-Caribbean office, was invited to share insights from an international perspective at both consultations. “The aim of this work is not only to bring the legislation to the realities of today but moreover, to what may be the world for the next 10, 15 or 20 years down the road” said Ms. Rose-Losada during her intervention.

By the end of the year, the Ministry hopes to submit to Cabinet a new policy and amendments to the Cooperative Societies Act. The ILO’s office in Port of Spain reaffirmed its availability and commitment to support the Ministry in these final stages.
