Cooperatives succeed when they have good governance and effective management. Good governance means being accountable, transparent, and aligned with cooperative values. Effective management turns plans into actions, helping cooperatives meet members’ needs and follow regulations. These skills donโt develop automatically. They require ongoing learning, training, and a shared commitment to cooperative principles. When board members understand their roles and managers are well-equipped, cooperatives become stronger and more adaptable.
In Guimaras, the Cooperative Development Section of Provincial Economic Development Office (PEDO) and the Guimaras Union Cooperative (GUC) worked together. GUC paid for training; PEDOโs certified trainers led the sessions.
Last June 26-27, 2025, 47 officers from 11 cooperatives joined a two-day training at GTIC Building, San Miguel, Jordan. This training is part of the mandatory programs for
cooperative officers to improve their skills.
The training helped officers:
โขFollow regulations
โขClarify board roles
โขImprove transparency and planning
โขBuild trust and engagement with members
These outcomes strengthen cooperatives and benefit the community.
