USAID helps MOLDCOOP to strenghthen its capacity to provide consumers with goods and services
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will provide Moldcoop consumers' cooperative with professional consultancy in order to strengthen its capacity to provide consumers with goods and services.
The support will be provided to Moldcoop within the Farmer-to-Farmer Program (FTF). Within the program, several U.S. experts will provide the cooperative with professional consultancy (aimed at the strengthening of its capacity to provide goods and services to the consumers from Moldova and abroad) during 2011. The experts will be selected on a contest basis in order to voluntarily provide assistance with the support of FTF program.
American expert in organizational development James Worstell, who assisted Moldcoop in launching a program developed for primary and district cooperative managers, said the continuous learning will not only identify new ways to make profit, but will also establish the necessary conditions to attract new foreign investments.
The expert advises Moldcoop to develop the managerial capacity, a unified image for Moldcoop export products, attract outside investment, as well as to pursue an agro tourism initiative.
According to Worstell, Moldcoop need to be transformed into a dynamic organization that will favor the economic development of the country.
