This past Friday, the “Presentation of Programs for Cooperatives” day was held, a meeting aimed at strengthening work, providing concrete tools, and fostering local development through cooperativism as a model of productive organization.
The activity was organized by the Undersecretariat of Development and Entrepreneurship of the Municipality of Concordia, in coordination with the National Secretariat of Labor, Employment and Social Security and the support of the Provincial Institute of Cooperatives and Mutuals.
The event, which was attended by Mayor Francisco Azcué, was also held on the eve of the International Day of Cooperatives, which is celebrated today, Saturday, July 5, under the theme: “Cooperatives build a better world,” highlighting the fundamental contribution that these organizations make in terms of inclusion, territorial development, and sustainability.
“We are working to strengthen the spirit of cooperativism, and to achieve this, a structural change is required because this model has often been misused or used as a tool that has nothing to do with what it was created for,” highlighted Azcué.
In that sense, he stated that this is why these instances between the State and the cooperative members are important, because that is where joint work is generated, the results of which can then be observed in the community: “Our objective is to provide them with greater possibilities so that the services, benefits, or products they generate are increasingly better and more competitive.”
During the day, different exchange spaces were developed, starting with the institutional presentation and the exhibition of the current support programs for work and service cooperatives, with special emphasis on the coordination between local governments and the national State.
The technical presentation was in charge of Lorena Fernández, a member of the team of the National Secretariat of Labor, Employment and Social Security, who detailed the strengthening programs available for cooperatives, as well as their lines of financing, training, and technical assistance.
Throughout the day, a space for individual consultations was opened with technical teams and representatives of the different organizations present, allowing attendees to clear up doubts and learn in depth about the requirements to access the programs.
Present were the Head of the Territorial Agency Concordia of the National Ministry of Human Capital, Eduardo Daniel Vidoni; the President of the Provincial Institute of Cooperatives and Mutuals, María Laura Renoldi; the Director of Cooperativism and Associativism, Ariel Gorostegui, and the Director of Employment, Juan Scarzello.
From the Municipality, the commitment to continue strengthening the cooperative sector as a strategic tool for labor inclusion, territorial development, and the construction of a fairer, more solidary, and sustainable economy was reaffirmed.
