Promoting cooperatives: An information guide to ILO Recommendation No. 193

The ILO’s Recommendation 193 on the Promotion of Cooperatives was adopted in 2002 and provides an internationally agreed template for national policy. This second edition has been updated and revised and will help cooperatives, governments, employers’ and workers’ organizations to help to make the cooperative model to become the option for achieving sustainable development.

Because cooperatives are owned by those who use their services, their decisions balance the need for profitability with the wider interests of the community.
