• Advocate for Cooperative-Friendly Policies: We engage with governments and international organizations to promote policies that recognize and support the unique contributions of cooperatives to local and global economies. By influencing policy frameworks, we ensure that cooperatives receive the legal recognition, financial support, and operational flexibility they need to flourish.
• Foster Global Collaboration: WCooEF brings together cooperative leaders and stakeholders from around the world to share best practices, innovative ideas, and successful models. Through our global network, we facilitate cross-border cooperation, allowing cooperatives to learn from each other and collaborate on projects that drive economic and social progress.
• Promote Cooperative Values and Principles: WCooEF champions the core values of cooperatives—self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity. We work to raise awareness about the importance of these values in building a fair and just global economy that prioritizes people and the planet over profit.
• Encourage Innovation and Sustainable Practices: We support cooperatives in adopting innovative solutions and sustainable practices that enhance their resilience and ability to contribute to the global economy. Whether through the use of new technologies, the development of green initiatives, or the exploration of new markets, WCooEF helps cooperatives remain competitive and relevant in a rapidly changing world.

Our mission is not just to support the cooperative sector but to position it at the forefront of global economic transformation. We believe that by harnessing the power of cooperatives, we can create a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable world.
