We are pleased to inform you that our 2023 Cooperative Month theme is:

Cooperatives: Pioneering the Path to Recovery Amidst Modern Challenges of Climate Change and Food Security

The theme underscores the critical role of cooperatives in addressing contemporary global challenges. Cooperatives serve as catalysts for sustainable agriculture, resilience against climate change impacts, and ensuring food security. Their collaborative and community-oriented approach is instrumental in fostering recovery and building a more secure and environmentally sustainable future.

In this context, cooperative development partners have a multifaceted role in supporting cooperatives’ endeavors to address climate change and bolster food security. Their contributions are indispensable in establishing robust and sustainable systems capable of withstanding the challenges brought about by a changing climate.

In line with this, we encourage you to kindly do the following:

1. Share the banner on your official website and social media profiles during the entire month of October. You may access the template at https://drive.google.com/…/1OxHtLoAIfk9wf6iOuOs5w991BRq… with designs and specifications provided.
