About NATCCO (Identity, Vision, & Leadership)
NATCCO stands for the National Confederation of Cooperatives. It is a federation of 1,080 member cooperatives across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Together, the network is powered by 36,000 professional staff serving a massive combined membership of 8 million individual Filipinos.
The NATCCO Network was established in January 1977. It originally started as the National Association of Training Centers for Cooperatives. NATCCO was formed by co-operators who believed that the task of co-op development lay primarily in the hands of the private sector. These leaders believed in self-help and in the idea that through co-operation, people can create opportunities for themselves to improve their socio-economic well-being.
NATCCO is a private, non-profit, non-governmental organization. It is fully registered and regulated by the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA).
