Profiles: Putting CLARITY into practice
Legal and regulatory reform is a vibrant, but crucial and challenging process outlined in the CLARITY Initiative’s first two reports: Enabling Cooperative Development: Principles for Legal Reform and Creating CLARITY.
Working with members of OCDC, cooperative movements around the world are applying the CLARITY tools to create legal environments that enable cooperative development to thrive in their countries. These efforts are examined in a variety of profiles.
