Philippine co-ops hold summit on gender and development

The Philippines's “National Summit on Gender and Development (GAD) in Co-ops,” themed "Inspiring Change for Women and Men in Co-ops,” will happen on March 25-26, 2014, Subic Bay, PH. 

This is the first time that the country's co-ops will hold a summit to tackle gender GAD. Participants in the Summit will get informed of GAD's important role in co-op growth and development, and how co-ops can meet the requirements of the memorandum circular on GAD mainstreaming in co-ops. The memorandum circular was issued in November 2013 by the PH government's Cooperative Development Authority (CDA). 

The national GAD Summit is being organized by the Asian Women in Co-operative Development Forum (AWCF) at CDA. Get more details from coopwomen.org and cda.gov.ph, or send an e-mail to gadsummit@coopwomen.org
