Move Up Community Savings and Credit Cooperative was honored to participate in the Cooperative Policy Development Training held on July 16–17, 2026 at the Cocoon Boutique Hotel, Quezon City.
For a new and growing cooperative like ours, this training was a valuable opportunity to strengthen our governance and ensure that our policies are aligned with the standards of the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) and industry best practices.
Over the two-day training, we gained practical knowledge on developing and enhancing essential cooperative policies, including:
✅Financial Management Policies
✅Credit Policy
✅Gender and Development (GAD) Mainstreaming
✅DOSRI (Directors, Officers, Staff and Related Interests) Policy
✅CASA and Internal Control Policies
✅Governance and Risk Management
And many other policies that are vital to the sustainable growth of a cooperative.
One of the highlights of this training was the opportunity to represent the Credit Cooperatives during the presentation of our workshop output. It was both a challenging and rewarding experience that allowed us to share our ideas, learn from fellow cooperatives, and contribute to meaningful discussions on policy development.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA), QC-SBCDPO, the organizers, resource speakers, and partner organizations for conducting this meaningful and well-organized training. The knowledge and insights we gained will help us continue building a cooperative that is transparent, accountable, resilient, and responsive to the needs of our members.
Together, we move forward with stronger policies, better governance, and a shared commitment to serving our members with excellence.
Empowered Together, Move Up!☝️💕
