As I usually do during this time of year, I wanted to share my favorite books, movies, and music of 2023.
First up, here are the books I've enjoyed reading. If you’re looking for a new book over the holidays, give one of them a try. And if you can, shop at an independent bookstore or check them out at your local library.
What were some of your favorite books this year?
My colleagues at @G_Communities and I are excited to share this learning brief that shows how CLEAR - a small program in Kenya has made huge impact in the #cooperatives sector, through collaboration, learning and adapting (CLA) approach by @USAID https://t.co/M3Fphoh5E5

As we mark the beginning of 2023, we have an opportunity to reflect on the recent building collapse cases in Kenya and rethink how #cooperatives can empower key actors in the construction value chain to build quality #housing.
Happy New Year! As we begin the new year we will be sharing exciting educational videos on important aspects that can lead to growth, development and success of cooperatives. Check out our first video on Strategy in Cooperatives. https://t.co/a56LqelWCN

What a great forum and very timely! I am happy to have participated in this session. There is a huge opportunity for youth to engage in worker cooperatives in Kenya. This could be the game changer! @ICA_AFRICA1
Sharing of best practices and experiences in developing #innovative construction systems and low-cost housing construction through cooperation among cooperatives is key to consider. @CoopHousingIntl
