The Cagayan Cooperative Union (CCU), headquartered in Carig Sur, Tuguegarao City, stands as a pivotal force in advancing cooperative development throughout Cagayan Province. Accredited by the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) as a Cooperative Training Provider (CTPRO #237), CCU plays a crucial role in empowering cooperatives by offering essential training and capacity-building programs.
Empowering Cooperatives Through Training
CCU conducts mandatory training sessions for micro-cooperatives, in collaboration with the Municipal Cooperative Development Office (MCDO) and local government units (LGUs). These initiatives are designed to equip cooperative members with the necessary knowledge and skills to manage their organizations effectively and sustainably.
A Legacy of Cooperative Development
The cooperative movement in Cagayan has deep roots, dating back to 1938 when a Protestant missionary introduced the first credit union in Tuguegarao. This initiative laid the foundation for a robust cooperative sector in the region, fostering economic empowerment and community development.
Commitment to Sustainable Rural Development
CCU’s efforts align with broader national objectives to promote sustainable rural development. By strengthening the capacities of local cooperatives, CCU contributes to poverty alleviation, food security, and inclusive economic growth in agrarian reform communities.
Looking Ahead
As the cooperative landscape continues to evolve, CCU remains dedicated to its mission of fostering resilient and self-reliant cooperative enterprises. Through ongoing training programs and strategic partnerships, CCU aims to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of cooperatives across Cagayan Province.
