Title: Agriculture Pernambuco Agricultural Cooperatives Summer 1969 Draft
Date: 1969
Description: The Peace Corps - Pernambuco (PC-PE) Agriculture Cooperatives project description was drafted in mid-1968 to request replacements for the first FECOMIPE (Federation of Mixed Cooperatives in the State of Pernambuco) Cooperatives group (December 1967 – December 69) for on-site placement in October 1969. The document was based on six to eight months of experience with the first Pernambuco Agriculture Cooperatives group. The Peace Corps project description was a document required by the Peace Corps bureaucracy to request a group of Volunteers. Since the process of approval, recruitment and training took about nine months, a decision to request a new or replacement group needed to be made one year in advance of expected placement in the field.
