NCBA CLUSA and the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) have joined forces once again to host our third conversation on cooperative identity—this time zeroing in on Principle 4, "autonomy and independence." This principle states that cooperatives are autonomous, self-help organizations controlled by their members. In managing relations with governments, suppliers, sources of external capital and other stakeholders, they must ensure that members remain in control and that the cooperative maintains its autonomy.
This webinar considers the role of Principle 6, or "cooperation among cooperatives" in promoting international understanding and reducing conflict, contributing to positive peace and strengthening civil society.
As part of the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA)’s Cooperative Identity consultation process, the Cooperative Identity Advisory Group is inviting focused conversations on key issues at the core of our shared identity.
On 1st March, the Academie Royale de Belgique in Brussels organised an event focused on cooperation and democracy for an intense (and possibly controversial) discussion, cross-examining the principle and reality, theory and practice, of democracy within the cooperative sector.
On 14 December, the ICA Cooperative Identity Advisory Group (CIAG) organised a webinar under the title of ‘Sharing the results of the survey on the Cooperative Identity’ where the main findings of the survey on the Cooperative Identity were shared.
Over 300 participants attended the International Cooperative Alliance’s online discussion on 13 May as part of a global consultation on the cooperative identity.

1,600 people participated in the 33rd World Cooperative Congress where the cooperative movement explored its identity to build a more secure future. Using the current global crisis as a framework, discussions deepen the cooperative identity by examining its values, strengthening its actions, committing to its principles and living its achievements.
