COPAC

The Committee for the Promotion and Advancement of Cooperatives (COPAC) , established in 1971, unites global public and private institutions to advocate for cooperative enterprises as vital players in sustainable, people-centered development.

To advance their shared mission and vision, the members of COPAC collaborate on the following activity areas:

• Promoting and raising awareness about cooperatives
• Strengthening cooperatives around the world through capacity building
• Participating in policy initiatives that affect cooperatives
• Serving as a resource for cooperative knowledge through information gathering and sharing
