The Indonesian government is now well under way with its plan to set up thousands of village co-operatives, in a bid to stimulate rural economies by shortening supply chains, improving market access and creating jobs. Ministers were looking to have 15,000 of the Red and White Village Co-ops (RWCVs)  operational by the end of August, and plan to grow that to 80,000 by November. But to succeed, the plan needs harmonised regulations across ministries, allowing leaders at village, district and mayoral level to approve the financing of the co-ops.Source: https://www.thenews.coop/indonesias-plan-for-80000-new-co-ops-is-a-daunting-task/ (ICE GIACARTA)
