June 2004 marked the first anniversary of the ILO initiative to regenerate and
revitalise the idea of cooperative business. ILO Recommendation 193, concerning
the Promotion of Cooperatives, was formally adopted last year at the
International Labour Conference. In the months since, staff of the ILO COOP
branch and cooperative development agencies have worked with governments and
cooperative development bodies to help translate the Recommendation into
practice at the national level. Journalist
Andrew Bibby reports on the results
of their work.
