Officially launched in April 2003, the program's "Advisory Services" component is managed jointly by the Canadian Co-operative Association (CCA) and the Conseil Canadien de la Coopération (CCC), and its services were provided throughout the country by a solid network of 18 partners during fiscal year 2005-06.
