The co-operative movement in the Africa region made a step forward after establishing the Alliance Africa Agricultural Co-operative Organization (AAACO) during a Regional Development meeting held on the 28th May in Maputo-Mozambique. This was a follow-up consultative meeting to operationalize the discussions that were held in Morocco last year with the aim of renewing the impetus for African agricultural co-operatives to work together and enhance partnerships leading to a strengthened agricultural sector in Africa.
The meeting was organized under the ICA-EU Partnership project entitled “Co-operatives in Development: People-Centred Businesses in Action” mostly termed as #ccops4dev whose overall objective is to strengthen the Alliance, and their regional offices.
