Resumen
Descripción
This publication is an outcome of an FAO Technical Cooperation Project in collaboration with the Cooperative Promotion Department (CPD) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Thailand. The project assisted in strengthening the training capacity of the CPD through training of trainers and field demonstration activities in five regions of Thailand. While cooperative women’s groups have been set up as part of the government’s efforts to help increase the incomes of women, the focus to date has mainly been on providing support services. This training kit instead focuses on capacity building to help women’s cooperative groups manage, promote, expand and diversify their businesses and move from dependence to self-reliance. The publication includes a comprehensive set of training modules on business concepts, gender issues, costing and pricing, bookkeeping and financial statements, marketing, risk management, business planning, leadership and team work, networking, and monitor ing and evaluation. Case studies are also provided.
