Fonkoze was founded in 1994 by Haitian organizations and a priest to provide microfinance and social programs to Haitians. It has since grown to serve over 60,000 borrowers through 46 branches, offering savings accounts, loans, remittances, and foreign exchange services. Fonkoze adapted the graduation model developed by BRAC, maintaining its core elements. Very high graduation rates move people into smaller loan programs, though some ultra-poor clients live too far to access services and alternative support is needed, such as village savings and loan associations. The BRAC model also required customization to Haiti's conditions, through modified housing and income generation activities suited to rural areas.

Unlocking Investment Opportunities in Nigeria’s Rural Communities through Agr...Onuoha Gabriel
This document discusses how strengthening agricultural cooperatives in Nigeria can reduce poverty and support the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It outlines how cooperatives empower smallholder farmers by facilitating access to financial services, inputs, and markets. Successful cooperative models are cited from other African countries that have lifted members out of poverty. The document proposes that the International Development Association's Private Sector Window could help Nigerian cooperatives by providing funding, technical assistance, promoting partnerships, and supporting capacity building and favorable policies. Developing strong agricultural cooperatives could boost Nigeria's productivity, incomes, tax base, and achieve multiple SDGs including reducing poverty and hunger.
This document discusses how cooperative societies can support cooperatives in Africa through the Co-operative College. The College offers knowledge of international cooperative development to help identify projects in Malawi and Lesotho, skills in project management, and assistance addressing grassroots needs.

The document provides examples of how the College has worked with UK cooperatives to support agricultural and credit union cooperatives in Lesotho and Malawi.

Corporate Social Responsibility to Socially Good BusinessShiraz Latiff
This document discusses the emergence of socially good business and bottom of the pyramid (BoP) opportunities. It argues that there is a gradual shift from corporate social responsibility to corporate citizenship as pressure grows on companies. Examples are provided of social businesses like Grameen Bank, BRAC, and Unilever's partnerships that empower the poor by engaging them as partners or consumers. Social programs can benefit the poor, corporations, society, and economy when developed as social businesses. The document encourages showing people how to fish rather than just giving them fish.
The document discusses national volunteering and its contribution to development in East Africa. It defines national volunteering as activities within a country by citizens, and notes that volunteerism has historically been important for community initiatives. It argues that formalizing voluntary activities could better utilize skills and resources. National volunteering can mobilize citizens towards development goals, promote good governance, and engage people in their communities. The document outlines four focuses of supporting national volunteering: setting up volunteer programs; developing volunteer management systems; creating an enabling environment; and strengthening leadership. It provides examples of these supports in various countries.
1) The document outlines the agenda and objectives for the first monthly meeting of the Layuan 4H Club. The agenda includes assigning groupings, establishing a club volunteer rewards program, and planning year-end and 2024 activities.
2) The objective of the Layuan 4H Club is to encourage youth engagement in agriculture and fisheries and develop their leadership capabilities to advance growth. The club aims to provide learning opportunities to cultivate the future of agriculture among youth.
3) The club is committed to inspiring youth to view farming as a dynamic career through hands-on learning initiatives and community involvement. Membership is open to youth aged 10-30 interested in agriculture projects.

iCOOP KOREA’s pricing system for sustainable food production and distributioncooperatives
iCOOP KOREA has developed a unique pricing system for sustainable agriculture that benefits both producers and consumers. The system includes: (1) A flexible pricing approach where iCOOP sets prices and producers are guaranteed a basic income level. (2) A Price Stabilization Fund supported by producers, processors, and consumers to ensure reasonable prices when markets fluctuate. (3) A pre-purchase program where consumers pay for products in advance to provide producers capital for planting. This system transforms antagonistic market relationships to a cooperative model with stable pricing and mutual support between groups.

Branding is important for co-operatives to differentiate themselves and highlight their unique structure and purpose. As co-ops seek to expand and attract new members, strong branding can help communicate their social mission and cooperative values to a wider audience in a way that resonates and builds trust. Developing a recognizable identity through branding establishes co-ops as viable alternatives that empower people and communities.
