The document discusses policy development for cooperatives. It explains that policies provide guidance for actions to meet objectives and reflect an organization's philosophy. Developing policies involves defining objectives, then creating statements that guide decision-making, resource allocation, compliance, and more. The board of directors is primarily responsible for writing policies, with input from management, experts, and stakeholders. Regular review and updates ensure policies remain relevant and properly implemented.
Basic Education and Literacy on Livelihood for the youth, women and Farmers jo bitonio
The document discusses various actors that advance development in the Philippines including government agencies, businesses, and civil society groups. It focuses on issues related to lack of access to education and literacy, which leads to high rates of poverty, unemployment, and social problems. Several statistics are provided on poverty rates and numbers of out-of-school youth. It also describes some programs to address these issues like early childhood education initiatives and youth development programs that provide social and financial education. Suggestions are made around partnerships and convergence of efforts between different groups to better support education, livelihoods, and development.
Adult learners benefit most from education and training programs that are relevant, practical, and allow them to draw from their own life experiences. Effective programs incorporate various learning styles, keep learners engaged through discussion and activities, and provide feedback to promote a sense of success. Training should be delivered through a combination of formal and informal methods, including classroom instruction, online asynchronous learning, on-the-job experiences, and opportunities for self-directed exploration. The goal is to help adults develop new skills and knowledge that can be immediately applied.
1. Cooperatives play an important role in social development by empowering communities and improving people's living conditions. They focus on meeting social, economic, and cultural needs in a self-help manner.
2. Social development refers to progressive improvements in quality of life and living standards through pursuits like poverty eradication, employment generation, and social harmony. It involves multi-dimensional processes across economic, social, political, and environmental domains.
3. Cooperatives engage in activities like education, community development, enterprise development, health, and advocacy to promote social development goals like those within the UN's Sustainable Development Agenda.
This document discusses cooperative education and training. It provides details on required trainings for cooperative officers based on asset size and business operations. It also discusses guidelines for cooperative federations regarding collecting and utilizing cooperative education and training funds (CETF) remittances from member cooperatives. Federations provide both mandatory and specialized trainings to officers, staff, and members. They conduct needs assessments and tailor training programs accordingly using in-house and on-site methods based on government guidelines. Overall, the document outlines cooperative education and training policies and practices of federations in the Philippines.
3 Philosophy, concepts, principles and values.pptxjo bitonio
Cooperatives are formed based on the core values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity. They operate according to seven agreed-upon principles: voluntary and open membership; democratic member control; members' economic participation; autonomy and independence; education, training and information; cooperation among cooperatives; and concern for community. Cooperatives work to meet members' mutual social, economic and cultural needs in a participatory manner where members share the risks and benefits equally.
2 Overview History, laws and trends.pptxjo bitonio
This document provides an overview of the history and development of cooperatives in the Philippines from 1896 to 2009. It outlines key cooperative laws passed by the Philippine government to promote cooperatives in various economic sectors, as well as some cooperatives initiated by churches and the private sector. Some of the major cooperative laws and events mentioned include the country's first agricultural marketing cooperative organized by Jose Rizal in 1896, the passage of the Cooperative Code in 1990, and the establishment of the Cooperative Development Authority.
This document outlines an agenda for a Training of Trainers (ToT) program for cooperative training providers. The ToT will help trainees understand cooperatives, learn how to train others on cooperative management concepts and principles, and demonstrate skills in preparing, delivering, and evaluating training courses. Trainees will be assigned to groups to discuss expectations, individual characteristics, and job commitment. The ToT will provide materials, equipment, and support through lecture presentations and a practicum. The first module will provide an overview of cooperatives in the Philippines, the role of education and training, and how cooperatives can promote development.
VUCA Prepraring to face the competition.pptxjo bitonio
The document discusses the concept of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) and how it describes the current business environment of constant unpredictable change. It then focuses on how agricultural cooperatives are facing challenges due to globalization and increased competition. Specifically, cooperatives struggle with limited access to finance, weak governance, and outdated information systems. The document advocates for computerizing cooperatives to improve information processing and decision making. It also discusses the important role of cooperatives in supporting small farmers and the work of FAO to help establish enabling environments for cooperatives.
The document discusses several topics related to human resources including:
1. The size of HR departments can vary significantly depending on the size of the organization, ranging from just a few employees to divisions of hundreds of staff.
2. Future roles of HR practitioners include diagnostic, assessment, and development roles requiring skills like organizational diagnosis, research, and evaluation.
3. Common pitfalls in developing HR strategies include inside-out thinking, solutions without involvement, complexity without simplicity, and lack of focus. Adapting best practices requires considering internal context.
This document discusses various aspects of human resource management systems including training and development, job design, recruitment and selection, performance management, and career development. It emphasizes the importance of integrating employee skills with job requirements through proper job analysis and design. It also stresses the need for induction and orientation of new employees, ongoing employee development, and career planning to retain valuable talent.
The document discusses the future direction of human resource management (HRM) in strategic, operational, and administrative terms. It outlines the role of HRM in aligning with business strategy, addressing daily operational issues, and ensuring compliance. It also discusses eight functional areas of HRM: strategy and planning, compliance, talent management, performance management, safety and health, employee and labor relations, total rewards, and developing talent pools to address skills gaps in key functions. The overall goal is to have an effective HRM system that supports the organization's vision and mission.
This document provides an overview of human resource management (HRM). It begins by outlining the key learning objectives which are to introduce HRM concepts, review management theories and compare HRM to personnel management. It then discusses how HRM deals with selecting, training, developing and reviewing employees. The document contrasts HRM with the historical approach of personnel management and emphasizes that HRM views employees as assets rather than costs. It concludes by noting how HRM aims to balance organizational and individual needs through flexibility, work-life balance policies and participation in decision making.
The document discusses various types of cooperative meetings and their procedures. It describes the general assembly meeting as the highest policy-making body composed of all members. The board of directors and committee meetings are also discussed. Order of business, roles of presiding officers, secretaries and members are outlined. Proper procedures are suggested for conducting effective meetings, including setting agendas, determining quorums, reading and approving minutes, presenting reports, and adjourning meetings.
The document discusses various leadership styles and theories as well as effective management. It provides definitions and examples of different types of leadership including transformational leadership, situational leadership, and phronetic leadership. It also outlines some key characteristics of effective managers such as setting targets, organizing work efficiently, and recognizing employee contributions. Additionally, it lists some golden rules for effective management like being consistent, communicating clearly, and encouraging team member ideas.
The document discusses guidelines for training requirements of cooperative officers in the Philippines. It outlines required training programs for officers of different types of cooperatives, including topics like fundamentals of cooperatives, governance and management, financial management, and risk management. It specifies that officers must complete training within the first half of their term. The training requirements aim to improve governance in cooperatives.
6 Performance Indicators in Ope Mgmt.pptxjo bitonio
The document discusses key concepts related to performance measurement and management, including outputs, outcomes, impacts, and the balanced scorecard approach. It defines outputs, outcomes, and impacts as different levels of change resulting from interventions, with outputs being direct products and outcomes being short-term effects. It then introduces the balanced scorecard as a strategic management tool that evaluates organizational performance from four perspectives: financial, customer, internal business processes, and learning and growth. Metrics are identified for each perspective to measure goals and continuous improvement.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
