Bibliographie sélective OHADA

The Uniform Act related cooperative societies (UA-COOP) is the main source of cooperative law in all the seventeen States parties to the OHADA founding Treaty. Ten years after its entry into force (2011-2021), the aim of this study is to assess the level of enforcement of this Act. More concretely, the aim is to compare the state of cooperative law at the time of the entry into force of the UA-COOP (2011) with the current situation (in 2021). Such a comparison should make it possible to assess the contribution of the UA-COOP to the development of cooperative law and strengthening of national cooperative movements in the OHADA zone.

"The aim of this book is to analyse the level of implementation of the Uniform act on cooperatives (Acte uniforme relatif au droit des sociétés coopératives, AUSCOOP) ten years after its enactment. The authors' analysis, conclusions and recommendations lead to two main ideas: on the one hand, the need to correct the weaknesses and inconsistencies of the Act, and on the other hand, the lack of coherence of the Act with the area’s legal environment.
