Cooperatives at Work
United Nations Department of Public Information,
2006
"The cooperative movement is one of the largest organised segments of
civil society, and plays a crucial role across a wide spectrum of human
aspiration and need. Cooperatives provide vital health, housing and
banking services; they promote education and gender equality; they protect
the environment and workers' rights. Through these and a range of other
activities, they help people in more than a hundred countries better their
lives and those in their communities"
United Nations Secretary-General, Kofi Annan
