This is Part 2 of the two-part country report of the National Confederation of Cooperatives (NATCCO), Philippines, at the "Alumni Workshop for Partners and Participants of the Joint Training Programme it@coops," convened by AWCF on 19-24 October 2009, supported by InWent (Capacity Building International, Germany). The event was themed "Renew, Update, Stay Connected—it@coops." In 2004-2007, AWCF and InWent implemented in three of AWCF's member-organizations the it@coops Project (Information Technology for Southeast Asian Co-operatives), with assistance from Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Participating organizations were the Credit Union League of Thailand (CULT), Thailand; Forum for Indonesian Co-operatives Movement (FORMASI Indonesia), Indonesia; and NATCCO. The Project aimed at providing poverty-oriented co-ops in Southeast Asia with skills in, understanding of, and access to IT that will make them more competitive. It was oriented extensively, but not exclusively, to women who put in above-average involvement in co-ops and who provide valuable economic and social work.
