Strategic Planning with Cooperatives Sample Clauses

Strategic Planning with Cooperatives. As described above, following the M3 assessment, strategic meetings were held with cooperative managers and leaders to tailor the training curriculum to their needs. Highlights from the strategic meetings (and relevant background information) are provided below: Kiirua Naari Community Based Organization (CBO): Rebuilding Trust The group has been in operation since 2006, collecting, aggregating and selling milk on behalf of its members. Kiirua CBO is made up of members that used to belong to a cooperative called Naari Farmers’ Cooperative. Allegedly, funds were embezzled and members became disgruntled and opted to withdraw. Since the producers still want to sell their milk, they decided to register as a CBO and hope to graduate to a cooperative in the near future. The members have traditional cows and therefore do not produce/sell a lot of milk. The members also farm other products like Irish potatoes, pulses and cereals. In the long term, the group can develop and market other products the members are producing, extending the gains from economies of scale and improved market access. The group is enthusiastic and wants to ensure that their group has the structures in place to preclude embezzlement from happening again. They currently sell milk to Meru Central Dairy, with whom Land’O’Lakes is working. Collaboration with the Land’O’Lakes CDP has already begun.
