Khadija Musa

UNDP Resident Represen-tative and UN Resident Coordinator Khadija Musa says co-operatives should re-examine the role of youth in supporting food security ventures.

Speaking at a Guyana National Cooperative Credit Union Limited (GNCCUL) forum convened last week to review and advance the movement, Musa said co-operatives ought to review the role of youth not only within the co-operative system but in farming societies. She also advised that the movement tap into the hinterland and support budding groups venturing into enterprise especially in Amerindian communities,
