 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.
