This year research projects have included "Covid 19 Impact on Cooperatives in Sub-Saharan Africa." Cooperative Business Resilience Assessment and Planning Tool, women's membership in informal and formal cooperatives in Kenya, the role of cooperatives in locally-led development, and a multi-country research initiative on women's economic empowerment in Sub-Saharan Africa, among others.

The ICRG also works with a distinguished Research Advisory Committee and collaborates with cooperative development organizations (CDOs) on the design and prioritization of initiatives.

Lessons derived from this research will be applied in the design of cooperative development programs by OCDC members as well as shared widely within the international cooperative development community through an active communications program that includes web-based activities as well as in-person and remote seminars and dialogues with global and national policy-makers, practitioners and other stakeholders.
