The ILO welcomes this recommendation and acknowledges the importance of simplifying administrative and reporting requirements to better reflect the capacities of cooperatives, particularly smaller ones, while maintaining appropriate accountability and fiduciary safeguards. Under the CSP programme, efforts were made to support cooperatives in meeting reporting requirements, including through guidance and coaching. The ILO recognizes, however, that further streamlining of templates and reduction of duplication could enhance usability and uptake. Going forward, the ILO will seek to simplify and adapt reporting tools and compliance expectations in a more proportionate manner, while continuing to ensure transparency and accountability. In parallel, the ILO has initiated the development of improved monitoring tools aimed at strengthening data collection and measurement of results. These efforts will support more systematic disaggregation of data (e.g. by sex and other relevant variables) while minimizing additional reporting burdens on cooperatives.

title:

Recommendation 9: Streamline cooperative-facing administrative requirements while maintaining accountability safeguards The International Labour Organization Project Team should streamline templates and reporting requirements, reduce duplication, and apply proportional compliance expectations for smaller cooperatives while maintaining fiduciary safeguards, and provide light-touch coaching on documentation to improve uptake without overloading limited cooperative staffing. At the same time, future programmes should embed systematic disaggregation of routine monitoring data (e.g. by sex, age, cooperative type, and intervention level) to enable more robust assessment of differentiated results without increasing reporting burdens.
