A cooperative is a farm, business, or other organization owned and run jointly by its members. All take part in the running of the enterprise, and all share the costs and benefits.

In 1992, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed, in its resolution 47/90 of 16 December 1992, the International Day of Cooperatives to be celebrated annually on the first Saturday of July.
International Day aims to:

4) Strengthen and extend partnerships between the international cooperative movement and other actors at local, national, and international levels, including governments.
