Congratulations to the newly elected ICA Asia and Pacific Regional Board 2025 to 2029, led by President Dr Chandrapal Singh Yadav (NCUI), with new members from #Jordan and #Thailand and youth voice from Dulce Bustamante. #ICAAPRA2025 #AyubowanCoops #IYC2025

Opening Plenary, ‘Cooperatives as Catalysts for a Better Future’, at #ICAAPRA2025 set the tone for #IYC2025 in Colombo, showing how coops in Sri Lanka, Malaysia and India are tackling informality, inequality & climate risks, from community finance to nano fertilisers. #AyubowanCoops

At “We are COOPs” we heard how real stories, from women auto drivers in India to farmers across Asia, can turn everyday cooperative work into powerful narratives. Brand is more than a logo, it is values in action with youth at the centre. #ICAAPRA2025 #AyubowanCoops #IYC2025 @icacoop.bsky.social

🌍 Donor priorities are shifting. How will coops adapt?
