2011-2016 Philippine

Cooperative Medium Development Plan

CDA Dagupan Extension Office

The PMTDP for 2010-2016 translates the President’s development Agenda , as contained in his “Social Contract with the Filipino People” into strategies, policies, programs and activities for the period 2010-2016.

The Social Contract envisions

“a country with an organized and widely shared rapid expansion of our economy through a government dedicated to honing and mobilizing our people’s skills and energies as well as the responsible harnessing of our natural resources”.

The attainment of the vision entails changes towards “doing the right things, giving value to excellence and integrity and rejecting mediocrity and dishonesty, and giving priority to others over ourselves. All sectors of society are expected to contribute towards the realization of these development objectives

The cooperatives sector has formulated, through a highly consultative and participative process, the sector’s own complementary blueprint, that they have called “The Co-op Sector 10-Year Strategic Direction- An Integrated and Transformative Cooperative” Sector”.

The strategies was incorporated in Philippine Cooperative Medium-Term Plan (PCMTDP) for 2011- 2016 and will be one of the Cooperative Development Authority’s primary reference in drawing its program thrusts and priorities during the plan period.

“An integrated and transformative cooperative system with a mission to build integrated businesses imbued with cooperative values for the improvement of the qualityof life”.

• Safe and sound financial cooperative sector that provides efficient, accessible, and competitive financial and related services.

• Efficient and effective cooperative procurement, distribution and marketing channel for co-op products and services.

• Increased number of cooperatives owning and operating environment-friendly, safe, efficient, and sustainable organizations that provide basic services to Members.

• Responsive and self-regulating national integrated cooperative advocacy, education and information system.

Aligned cooperative businesses

The realization of the collective vision and mission statement will contribute towards the overall realization of the societal goal of poverty reduction and improvement of the quality of life of its members. Therefore, the operations and governance in the cooperative sector as well as the relationships between and among the actors, shall be guided by the following principles:

a)subsidiarity,b)autonomy and independence, c)partnership

The ‘Principle of Subsidiarity’ - No government intervention as much as possible and government intervenes only when necessary. This principle may also refer to the extent where government utilizes various levels to manage development initiatives in the cooperative sector. This may be taken to mean that the government may veer away from activities best handled by primary cooperatives, federations and unions. This may also mean that the Local Government Units (LGUs) are to be involved as partners in cooperative development in these areas, consistent with the requisites of local autonomy.

The ,Principle of Autonomy and Independence, defines cooperatives as autonomous, self-help organizations. Along with the principle of partnership and complementation, it also guides cooperatives in their pursuit of growth and development through critical collaboration or strategic alliances with external organizations –including government, non-government organizations (NGOs) and the business sector.

The ‘Principle of Accountability’ refers to the responsible use of power by theleadership and by the institutions to advance general welfare. It requires that those who hold positions of public trust should account for their performance to the public. Effective accountability requires appropriate external feedback and should be linked to appropriateincentive and penalty system.
