Think.Coop and Start.Coop are low-cost, easy to use tools for those interested in joining and starting a cooperative in a participatory manner. They draw on technical content from existing materials in different ILO cooperative training tools. They also use a peer-to-peer, activity-based learning methodology from the ILO’s Community-Based Enterprise Development (C-BED) programme. Think.Coop and Start.Coop packages contain: a training guide, a facilitator’s guide and two PowerPoint presentations that can be used for training of facilitators and direct beneficiaries.
