🌍 Strengthening Global Ties: ACCOSCA Meets IRU and DGRV in Bonn
The IRU was pleased to host George Y. Ombado from the African Confederation of Cooperative Savings & Credit Associations (ACCOSCA), alongside Gabriele Freifrau v. dem Bussche, for a fruitful meeting with IRU and Nina Hildebrandt and Ursula Neideck from DGRV in Bonn.
The discussions emphasized the shared cooperative values that unite our organizations and underscored the importance of international collaboration. As part of the IRU’s global network, building and strengthening connections with cooperative organizations like ACCOSCA is vital for exchanging knowledge and experiences—both of which are key drivers for advancing the cooperative movement worldwide.
As we look ahead to 2025 and the UN International Year of Cooperatives, these global partnerships play a critical role in promoting and reinforcing the cooperative model as an essential force for sustainable development. IRU remains committed to fostering cooperation across borders, ensuring that cooperatives continue to thrive on a global scale.
