As we start another year, CDA Region 10 anticipates more officers and members to join in the upcoming mandatory trainings for 2023. The two mandatory trainings are Fundamentals of Cooperatives and Governance and Management of Cooperatives. For the 2nd half of 2022, CDA Region 10, fully committed to capacitate cooperative officers and members, had served all provinces, namely Misamis Occidental, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Oriental, Bukidnon and Camiguin in its conduct of both virtual and face to face mandatory trainings. Capacity building of micro and small cooperatives is at the core of CDA’s developmental function.  A total of 5,049 officers and members from 476 cooperatives, 388 of which were micro cooperatives while 88 were small cooperatives, completed the required mandatory trainings within 5 months from August 2022 to December 2022.

With the commitment to continuously train micro and small cooperatives this 2023, there will be at least one (1) schedule for each mandatory training that will be conducted virtually per quarter this year.  Invitation for such trainings will be disseminated thru the official website and social media page of CDA-10 and will be emailed by Cooperatives Development Specialists assigned in different cities and municipalities of Region 10. Requests for mandatory trainings to be conducted face to face, will be granted subject to the availability of trainers and the CDA-10 reserves the right on the final schedule of the requested trainings.
