Economic Development

This is the flagship service within the Economic Development unit.
The service is designed to pool economic resources across co-operatives in order to benefit from economies of scale and scope. We are solely focusing our enterprise and economic development efforts in support of cooperatives because of this service.
Socio-economic research is an important source of information about the economic conditions under which cooperatives operate. It serves as the foundation for a strategic redress in support of the Enterprise Development work we do at ASÈ.
Strategy formulation helps in the development of business objectives, performance standards, measurable outputs, input management, process planning, risk analysis and aversion to ensure that co-operative enterprise development has the desired impact.
