The World
Cooperative Monitor is a project designed by the International
Cooperative Alliance (ICA) and the European Research Institute on Cooperative

and social data about cooperatives, mutual organisations and non-cooperative
enterprises controlled by cooperatives worldwide. It is the only report of its
kind collecting annual quantitative data on the global cooperative movement.
