Resumen
Descripción
Agricultural cooperatives and other forms of collective action are key to addressing challenges faced by small-scale family farmers in the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region. Despite their importance, efforts to support them remain fragmented. In response, FAO RNE, in collaboration with ICA Asia-Pacific and ICA Africa, launched a regional initiative to strengthen government–cooperative dialogue and foster a more enabling environment. As part of this effort, the Strategic Dialogue on Cooperative Development, held in Casablanca in January 2025, brought together stakeholders to share knowledge, explore policy reforms, and enhance the role of cooperatives in transforming agrifood systems, advancing food security, and promoting sustainable rural development in the region.
