An Assessment Of Man-up Multi-purpose Cooperative (MMPC): A Basis For Strategic Action Plan For Sustainable Improvement

Author(s) Acelle Cichon Tocol
Country Philippines
Abstract This thesis provides a critical evaluation of the coco-based crude oil and copra cakes manufacturing project of Man-Up Multi-Purpose Cooperative (MMPC) of Altavas, Aklan, under the Integrated Livelihood Program of the Department of Labor and Employment (DILP). The research endeavors to examine operational processes, determine issues faced, and demonstrate best management practices and determine the socio-economic effects derived by cooperative members and other stakeholders. Using a qualitative case study research design, information was collected from a range of sources, such as interviews, observations, and secondary data, to warrant credibility of findings through triangulation. The research shows that MMPC's operations have, over time, undergone a remarkable shift since its establishment, characterized by the embracement of sustainable practices that have improved productivity and community involvement. Some of the problems that have been identified include the scarcity of resources, availability of the markets, and demands for better management practices. Despite such obstacles, the cooperative has been successful in sustaining its existence through embracing several best practices that have made its members better off economically, ensured stabilized income, as well as enabled community development. The observations supply important findings which not only update MMPC operational improvements but can also serve to model for other cooperatives keen on carrying out similar livelihood undertakings. Recommendations are provided for future initiatives to increase sustainability and impact, calling for continuous research to identify the long-term implications of cooperative-based economic models in rural communities. This research contributes to the body of knowledge regarding cooperative dynamics in the Philippines, highlighting the necessity of strategic planning and adaptive measures in ensuring the success and longevity of such programs.
