Abstract
This interview was conducted via Zoom with John Mulangeni, Executive Director of the Malawi Federation of Co-operatives (MAFECO), during our 2023 Co-operative Education Workshop. The aim of the workshop was to gather content for this special issue of the Journal of Co-operative Studies. MAFECO is the umbrella body for co-operatives in Malawi, providing “aid in teaching, regulating, and maintaining co-operatives across the nation” (MAFECO.org). John has worked for over 30 years in the Malawi co-operative movement, including in the Ministry of Trade and Industries. He is a committed co-operative educator, and expert in the co-operative economic sector.
