My.COOP is a training package and programme on the management of agricultural cooperatives. It was designed for existing and potential managers of agricultural cooperatives and members involved in managerial tasks, to improve the management of their cooperatives and to provide guidance to them to better cater for member satisfaction, business opportunities and social concerns.
