Episode 03: How do our cooperative values and principles create resilience and sustainable livelihoods in communities?

The recognition of co‐operatives as self‐help organizations with capacity to improve peoples’ livelihoods and wellbeing is global and widespread among institutions. The United Nations, in 1994, estimated that co‐operatives provide livelihood security for three billion people. This fact means that decisions made in cooperatives are balanced by the pursuit of profit, and the needs and interests of members and their communities.

In this podcast we will talk to Rochelle Prunty, General Manager of River Valley Co-op, about how our co-operative values and principles create resilience and sustainable livelihoods in communities.
