CDF programs in Ukraine
The Co-operative Development Foundation of Canada has staff in the Ukraine working on the project Supporting Economic Prosperity for Women and Internally Displaced Persons in Ukraine (SEW Ukraine). Benoit André, Executive Director of CDF, fills us in on the important history of co-operatives in the region, the CDF and its co-operative ethics.
For more than 75 years (1947), CDF Canada has been helping partners in Asia, Africa, the Americas and Eastern Europe. The project in the Ukraine is not unique.
