The Mondragon motto is "Humanity at work." They focus on knowledge, skills, training, research and innovation, finance for cooperatives and also manufacturing and retail for jobs that are created and products that are manufactured.
As South Africa we separated a process of development cooperatives from a process of providing skills and a process of intervening in poverty. That then, created a situation where the process of developing cooperatives is not aligned to the process of developing skills which are required to develop the local economy.
