In relation to this, the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) created a National and Steering Committee to celebrate the Philippine IYC 2012, composed of cooperative federations /unions, government institutions, academes, cooperative party lists and other relevant institutions tasked to plan, develop and implement programs and activities at the national


Philippine Theme:

Transformative Cooperatives for People,

Planet, Prosperity and

Peace

With the theme "Transformative Cooperatives for People, Planet, Prosperity and Peace", the Philippine IYC 2012 aims: to increase public awareness about cooperatives and their contributions to advance the 4P's for sustainable development, engage government to create policy environment conducive to the formation, growth and stability of coops, and to advance the 5 priority areas, the PCMTDP and CDA 3 point agenda


The country's number one resource is its people. Enhancing therefore their capabilities, developing their potentials and harnessing their skills must take precedence over other priorities knowing that countries that have not developed their human capital are now penalized by slow growth.

Today, the cooperative movement in the country with some 7 million members, are one with the new President in advancing a collectivist counter culture as its response to countervail against the dominant paradigm of poverty, powerlessness, violence and corruption.



Topics to be discussed in relation to the nurture and protection of our environment are : 1) Investors Forum on Community Based Forest Management; 2) Environment Protection, Waste Management, and Climate Change; 3) Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture; and 4) Power Forum; 5) Seminar on Sustainable Agriculture and Ecology Environmental Awareness Activities including Rehabilitation of Mangroves, Reforestation of Denuded Areas, and Upland Tree Growing


The spirit of cooperativism shines through amidst the darkness of poverty and social inequities. Where people are poor because they are powerless to craft their destiny, where hunger looms because of social injustice as the mode of production and basic utilities are controlled by a few, where people are in dire economic difficulties because of lack of opportunities, skills and capabilities, it is during this time when cooperatives thrive best.

Levelling off on the definition of terms:Transformative Co-operatives - are the kind of Co-operatives that stimulate, cause, produce, provoke, prompt, make, bring

about.... change •Change - is associated with development / paradigm shift. (growth, advancement, expansion, progress, improvement).

•But what kind of development are the Co-operatives (Sector and the CDA) advance?

Sustainable kind of development - it is the kind of growth that closes inequities that promotes fairness, justice, indiscrimination, equality, proportion, balance without impeding (obstruct, hinder, hamper, delay, block, slow down ) the rights of the future generations to live sustainably.


4P's of SD = People, Planet, Prosperity & Peace - is the interdependent and mutually reinforcing pillars of Sustainable Development. It is beyond economic values. It is interconnection: What happens to one part, affects the others.

Are the Co-op’s development initiatives adhere to the 4P’s bottom lines?


If the Rotarians have their 4-way test, we, the Co-ops should also have our 4-P’s test on our development initiatives


The 4-P’s test on our development initiatives:
