The cooperative movement in Migori County has not been as vibrant as expected, with the few societies that have been in existence for decades struggling to stay afloat.
Records from the cooperative offices in Migori indicate that the region has over 400 registered cooperative societies but less than 100 are actively operational.
Ministry of Trade, Cooperatives and Tourism within the County, however, assures of its unwavering support towards the growth and development of cooperative groups within the region "This County has formulated the County Cooperative Policy paper that aims at supporting cooperative members adequately," confirms the County director of co-operatives Mr. Justus Nyangwecha.
The policy works towards addressing issues of development, new registration of cooperatives, cooperative culture among county citizens and to promote a vibrant cooperative structure.
