Cooperative Activities and Trainings Sample Clauses

Cooperative Activities and Trainings. Taking into account the framework of the Program, CDP Paraguay identified training needs for our beneficiaries. During this semester the following activities and training were carried out to promote the strengthening of these institutions.  Leadership Training: Leadership for change and operational excellence is a primary challenge for cooperative strengthening. Leadership training is not simply an independent act of competency development. It must be embedded in the values, culture, and context of the organization, integrally linked with the continuous processes of decision-making, problem-solving, learning, knowing, and performance. Three cooperatives received leadership training. The sessions included discussions about personal barriers to serving in leadership role, chairing a committee and running meetings, public speaking, the importance of facing conflict directly. The positive impact of implementing the suggestions was already apparent during workshops and meetings. By the end of session, many members were signing up for different roles. As members become more involved, they will care more about the cooperative, take more responsibility, and serve in leadership roles. It will feel like “their” organization. There will be a renewed sense of strength, energy and momentum.  Strengthening of Cooperatives of the Southeast Region of Paraguay: The use of good practices of governance has proved to be fundamental in the success of cooperatives. Under the goal of CDP´s program to strengthen cooperative participation and governance CDP Paraguay participated in the event “Fortalecimiento de Cooperativas de la Zona Sureste del Paraguay” (Strengthening of Cooperatives of the Southeast Zone of Paraguay). The event included cooperative members of Federation of Production Cooperatives (FECOPROD) in the southern region and representatives of important institutions related to the cooperative movement in Paraguay.
