Cooperative And MSME Empowerment Strategies in Economic Recovery During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Bogor District.

The development of organizations in Indonesia is increasingly rapid and competitive. One of the growing organizations in Indonesia is a cooperative. Cooperative is a form of business that is characterized by togetherness or based on kinship. In Indonesia, cooperatives are engaged in various fields to achieve community welfare. At first, cooperatives were a collection of people who had a lower level of the economy, where through cooperatives they both wanted or had a goal to improve their welfare. Nationally, the number of registered cooperatives is more than adequate to support the people's economic movement. This means that if the existing number has a paradigm, ideology, and a real cooperative spirit, it will become a very large force and provide guarantees for economic sustainability that is based on the spirit of self-help and cooperation. This condition actually became the ideals of the founding fathers of the nation when they had to choose the economic model to be built when the world was divided into 2 (two) models, namely capitalism and socialism. Cooperatives have similarities with the original social system of the Indonesian nation, namely collectivism. The Indonesian gotong royong community likes to help each other. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
