WRITTEN REPORT
The Role of Cooperatives and Government
Cooperatives and Community Development
We define a community as diverse groups of people who live in a commonly
understood location or place. The place may be a neighbourhood, a town/city, or a
county. Some see community development as a process that helps a community to
sustain itself socially, economically, and environmentally.
Cooperatives expand the ability of groups to participate in, negotiate with,
influence, control, and hold accountable the institutions that effect their lives.
This empowerment is achieved when community members work together and learn
that they can rely on themselves and on their ability to act collectively to improve
their personal circumstances and the well-being of their community.
As people work together in a cooperative, they build up community identity,
establish community norms, learn to trust each other, and commit to providing
benefits for each other.
Cooperative development enhances community trust and networks, through which
community residents can pool community economic, social, and political resources
and access those from outside the community.
Government and Community Development
Government role in the community development process is often an uncertainty as
each community has its own opinion on the matter. The inclusion of government, on
whatever level, is always a possibility with community development and it's a viable
option for those going through the process.
Whether or not any level of government involvement is necessary in community
development is going to depend on the community itself. Local governments
prompt and manage community development in their own jurisdictions all the time;
it's a part of their responsibilities to ensure a level of quality for residents. Many
restrictions that exist in today's society are in place through laws created and
enforced by the government. For some communities, this is the only involvement
that government has in their community development process and it's not
necessarily going to be a negative issue.
Seeking government involvement in the first place-whether it's for community
development or something else-isn't always something that community members
want to do.
Advantages
A community might not want or require government involvement in their
community development plans, but they may still consider it. There are certain
advantages that come with seeking assistance from the local, state, and federal
governments that might appeal to community leaders. Even if it's not a necessity
needed to accomplish their objectives, government resources can still give them a
boost and make the process easier. Some advantages to government involvement
in community development include:
Funding – Access to money and other resources are definitely going to make
government involvement in the community development process look attractive.
It's a huge motivator and for many communities it may be an obstacle that is
keeping them from reaching their goals. There are a variety of programs on the
federal and state level-more on that later-that communities can apply for. Things
like tax breaks that can ease some of the financial burdens for communities,
especially if they are using the services of a CBO or a non-profit in the process.
There's also project funding and loan guarantees available to those that meet the
necessary requirements.
Lower Risks – When there is someone or something that has the knowledge and
resources to do something, it's more likely that it's going to get done the way it
should. Government involvement acts as both a guide and a buffer for community
development, and can lower some of the risks that communities have when making
improvements. The rules they put in place help keep things on track, which means
it's a little harder to accidentally or intentionally skip steps. There are also
contingencies attached to government programs and funding sources in the event
of failure or issue; communities using those resources are not going to be at a
complete disadvantage if something goes wrong.
Protections – In addition to helping lower some of the risks that come with
community development, government involvement can also provide economic and
environmental protections. Protecting the things in their respective jurisdiction is a
part of the government's job after all. Enforcement of the community's rights and
regulations to prevent those rights from being abused or taken advantage off are
going to be the most common protections. Community development actions cannot
be carried out if they somehow harm the community as a result-repairs and
improvements to public spaces need to follow government-induced safety protocols,
for example.
Experience – Community development and urban planning tend to be a part of the
government's responsibilities, so officials often have some experience with the
community development process. It's knowledge that can be a valuable resource,
especially in young communities where leaders may not be entirely sure of their
actions. Even some of the tasks that a community may need to complete in order to
implement improvements may involve actions that members of the government do
all the time in the course of their jobs.
Role of Government in Cooperative Development under the New Code
IMPLEMENTING RULES AND REGULATIONS OF R.A. NO. 11364 OR OTHERWISE
KNOWN AS THE "COOPERATIVE DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY CHARTER OF 2019"
“The Board shall, in consultation with the cooperative sector and other concerned
government agencies, formulate the IRR, within ninety (90) days upon the
effectivity of the Act. XXX.”
RULE I GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 1. Title. – These rules and regulations shall be known as the “Implementing
Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 11364”.
Section 2. Declaration of Policy. – It is hereby declared the policy of the State to
promote the viability and growth of cooperatives as instruments of equity, social
justice and economic development and to create an agency, in fulfilment of the
mandate in Section 15, Article XII of the 1987 Constitution.
The State recognizes cooperatives as associations organized for the economic and
social betterment of their members, operating business enterprises based on
mutual aid, and founded upon internationally accepted cooperative principles and
practices. The State also recognizes the Cooperative Development Authority as
primarily responsible for the institutional development and regulation of
cooperatives through partnership with the cooperative sectors and the academe.
Accordingly, the State recognizes the right of the cooperatives to initiate and foster
within their own ranks cooperative promotion, organization, training, information
gathering, audit and support services, with government assistance where
necessary.
