Our work during 2009
The annual report for 2009 describes the work of Swedish Cooperative Centre around the world.

In over twenty countries, we provide poor people with the tools they need to fight poverty themselves.
SCC offers training to smallscale farmers, which makes it possible for them to earn a living from their farming. Our support to local housing cooperatives means that the members can build their homes together, and our microfinance projects offer poor people the chance to save and borrow. Poverty is not only about lack of money, but also lack of opportunity and influence. This is why we are also involved in campaigning work to increase people’s power.
Results our work
Our work during 2009 has, for example, led to:
• Over a thousand farmers in Honduras increasing their vegetable harvests by 42 percent over three years.
• Farmers in nine districts in Malawi being trained in their rights, for example the right to agricultural guidance, and launching negotiations with local authorities on better support.
• Study circle material, including seven books, being produced and distributed in Africa.
