Agricultural-based rural cooperative societies that were on the verge of collapse due to leadership wrangles are set to be revived following the establishment of conflict resolution mechanisms. 

The Department of Agriculture and Cooperatives in collaboration with National Cooperative Business Association has put in place an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) centre that will harmonise divergent views and strengthen existing cooperatives across six sub-counties.
