The events
About

The host government wrote this material in Tetum and nobody has approved an English rendering of it. Rather than translate a government’s own words automatically, the site links to the original.
Read it in TetunCooperatives, in numbers
The brief asks for cooperative movement data at world, ASEAN and Timor-Leste level. The source material reaches for those figures and does not contain them, so nothing is shown here rather than a number with no source behind it.
Not yet published
World cooperative membership. The Tetum draft says 'liu hosi ___ biliaun ema' with the number missing. Needs a figure, a named source (ICA or similar) and the year.
Not yet published
ASEAN cooperative membership. The draft says only 'dezenas de miliaun' (tens of millions). Needs a figure, a named source and the year.
Not yet published
Timor-Leste cooperative data: number of cooperatives, members, and sectors. SECoop is the holder of this data and no figure appears in any source document.
