This document discusses supporting co-operatives in Malawi from 2012-2015 and outlines plans for a new project from 2015-2018. It defines co-operatives and their key principles. The prior project achieved its targets of training thousands of members and forming hundreds of new co-ops. The new project aims to empower more women and youth as leaders and entrepreneurs through co-ops, increase incomes, and promote environmentally sustainable practices among 1,900 members. It will be led by UK and Malawian partners including a coffee, macadamia, and organic farmers cooperative.
