As part of its efforts to revitalise the Co-operative Movement in Guyana, the Ministry of Social Protection’s (MoSP) Department of Co-operatives recently facilitated the conversion of the Ituni Small Loggers and Chainsaw Association in Ituni, Region Ten from a Friendly to a Co-operative Society.
According to a MoSP release, the association is now the Ituni Loggers Co-operative Society Limited and with this conversion, the society is now legally operating in the region.
Head of the Co-operative Department Perlina Gifth told the residents at the meeting that the conversion to a co-operative society will also enable the society to have a better management structure, make every member a shareholder and see members employed under the Decent Work Country Programme.
