Dear Colleagues,
Please refer to the earlier message posted on Wednesday 10th of July, 2024 which was reposted a moment ago.
This message provides further clarification on the subject matter as follows:
1) YSI members are encouraged to apply for bursary to attend the International Cooperative Alliance global conference in New Delhi, India 25 to 30 November, 2024;
2) Decisions on the applications is the sole perogative (absolute discretion) of the appropriate quarters. The appropriate quarters is the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA);
3) While it is settled that selection is at the absolute discretion of the ICA, willingness to participate actively my enhance an applicant’s chances of getting selected. Anticipated forms of participation are listed on the application portal. For clarity/example, I am willing to serve as a rapporteur;
4) The Cooperative working group of YSI looks forward to working with all the five (5) thematic committees of the ICA.These thematic committees are:
Youth network,
Gender and Equality,
International Cooperative Development,
Cooperative Law Committee, and
Committee on Cooperative Research.
Furthermore, we plan to work with all the eight (8) sectoral organizations of the ICA.
This appears a departure from the previous model. However, it holds the potential of giving more opportunities to YSI members because it broadens our horizon.
Thank you.
(Kindly refer to the email of Wednesday 10th July, 2024 to fill the registration form) The deadline is 4th of August, 2024
Best regards,
