MY.COOP – management of agricultural cooperatives
Monday, May 9, 2022 to Friday, June 24, 2022
*APPLICATION DEADLINE 22 April 2022
Introduction to the course
Proper management enables cooperatives to offer high quality, efficient and effective services to their members. Moreover, well managed agricultural cooperatives can also contribute to wider development issues such as food security, sustainable use of natural resources and inclusive employment creation. My.COOP is a training package and programme on the management of agricultural cooperatives. It has been designed for existing and potential managers of agricultural cooperatives as well as for members involved in managerial tasks to strengthen the management of agricultural cooperatives and provide guidance to cater for member satisfaction, business opportunities and social considerations. Recently, My.COOP Training of Trainers has been adapted into a 60 hours certification programme, applied last year in an ILO-FAO Partnership training in Angola and offered now online worldwide.
Who attends this course?
The target group will be presidents, administrators and other actors within the cooperative structures, as well as trainers and vocational trainers that already somehow act within cooperative and agricultural communities.

My.COOP is a training package and programme on the management of agricultural cooperatives. Proper management enables cooperatives to offer high quality, efficient and effective services to their members. Moreover, well managed agricultural cooperatives can also contribute to wider development issues such as food security, sustainable use of natural resources and inclusive employment creation.
The My.COOP package consists of 4 modules, a trainer’s manual and a mobile learning toolkit:
- Basics of agricultural cooperatives
- Cooperative service provision
- Supply of farm inputs
- Cooperative marketing
Since 2019, the My.COOP TOT has been enriched with the My.Coop Smart, an on-line interactive self-guided module of the MyCoop family, that trainers can also use in the training. It uses case studies and practical experiences to deepen the content of the MyCoop manuals and strengthen knowledge of critical concepts. MyCoop Smart demonstrates how interventions such as training, awareness raising and knowing financial and practical tools increase governance, dialogue and management and can benefit cooperatives.
