The Cooperative Way - Health Cooperatives during COVID-19 and in times of crises

Organized by the ICA and IHCO, this webinar was part of a new initiative called “The Cooperative Way” (TCW). TCW will consist of a series of webinars that will showcase the capacity of the cooperative model to adapt to the needs of communities during times of crises on multiple levels, and simultaneously demonstrating the value cooperatives can bring to communities, and important partnerships with local and national governments to reduce the impact of crises. This first webinar, “The Cooperative Way: Health Cooperatives during COVID-19 and in times of crises” took place on June 17 2020 and allowed participants to get to know first-hand the invaluable role and contribution of cooperatives in the health sector during these complicated times of COVID-19. This session took place within the Framework Partnership Agreement (#coops4dev🌏) signed between the ICA and the European Commission in March 2016. The programme seeks to strengthen the cooperative movement and its capacity to foster international development, through policy, knowledge building and sharing, networking, and visibility actions.
