Profile

Korea Cooperative Solidarity (KCS), established in 2018, was formed by the joint efforts of several Korean cooperative organisations — including the Korean Federation of Worker Cooperatives, the Dure Consumer Cooperative Federation, and the Korean University Cooperative Federation — that had previously each joined the International Cooperative Alliance individually. KCS aims to engage with the International Cooperative Alliance as a unified body, serving as a bridge connecting Korea's cooperative activities to the world and promoting international exchange and solidarity; it is a member of ICA's Asia-Pacific region.
