Slide 6 of 13 |
Very often the local work is about social cooperatives, in the cities it is a way to solve a shortage situation, to gain power and influence, in the countryside it is more a question of survival. It's also so that around 80 percentage of those who starts new coops are women.
To the cooperative sector it's naturally to support partnership creations. Partnership in a new and broad meaning has to be built on all level. In the cooperative development work in Sweden we're talking about the importance of parallel strategies. Partnership on the ground, in the local community, the suburbs, the villages, municipality, regions, national, Europe and global. The local work depends firstly of the needs among the people living there.
