This  Recommendation 193 from the International Labour Organization, adopted in 2002, focusing on promoting cooperatives worldwide. It emphasizes the importance of cooperatives for job creation, resource mobilization, and economic development, particularly in fostering social and economic inclusion and decent work. The document outlines a supportive policy and legal framework governments should provide, advocating for equitable treatment of cooperatives compared to other enterprises and detailing the roles of various organizations in their advancement. Ultimately, it seeks to strengthen the cooperative movement through national policies, international cooperation, and adherence to core cooperative values and principles.
