Led by Usec. Joseph B. Encabo, Chairperson of the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) and Globe Business Marketing Head Jonathan Cristobal, CDA and Globe signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to undertake a collaborative project which will utilize technical, financial, physical, and manpower resources of both organizations.
This is in order to raise awareness about the importance of digital adoption and transformation of cooperatives in achieving their targets/goals and establish a strong linkage with stakeholders thereby optimizing benefits to cooperatives.
Under the MOA, Globe Business will conduct webinars, roundtable discussions, roadshows, and brown bag sessions, for the benefit of the cooperatives especially MSMEs, free of charge. The CDA can also invite Globe Business to its programs to discuss technology adoption and digital transformation.
This is the second partnership of CDA with Globe Business where they conducted a Globe Business Masterclass in 2023 for cooperatives in 3 sessions about digital adoption and transformation. The MOA signing took place at the Globe Telecom Headquarters in Bonifacio Global City on October 18, 2024, with the partnership in effect until December 2025. – Cherryl Marders
