title:

Cooperative society capacity assessment, monitoring and exit. Develop and apply a systematic capacity assessment framework for cooperative societies and producer groups from the outset to identify needs, track progress and determine the exit point for project assistance. This will enable the implementers to customize assistance provided; track progress towards an autonomous and well-functioning state and identify the exit point when the cooperative has reached an optimal level of capacity. As a first step, define the desired characteristics of a well-functioning cooperative. The capacity framework should comprise several dimensions such as Governance (leadership and organizational structure); Business management and inter-organizational linkages (networks, joint ventures, marketing capacity); Human resources and financial management (planning, accounting); Infrastructure facilities (buildings, technology); and Social Inclusion. Each dimension may include several indicators on which the cooperatives can be graded. E.g. Business management: Able to calculate profit and loss; able to identify and negotiate with new market partners. The assessment and scoring could be made at regular intervals and the overall score plotted over time. An exit point score range would be defined to determine when the ILO will withdraw support.
