My participation in the GYF has been rewarding, already by meeting trainers and participants from all over the world. My sessions focused on CLARITY (developed by OCDC and its partners) as a tool to assess a cooperative legal framework in order to improve it. My concern was to share my experiences with the participants following the impressive results I got after using it in Africa. The discussions were exciting and most of the participants were able to realize the existence of the CLARITY tool that they would like to use in their home countries. I also learned from the participants, as they narrated about the legal framework in their home country and I realized to what extent the law, when it is not adapted, can be an obstacle to the emergence of a strong cooperative movement.
