As a celebration of the UAE's 50th anniversary, the Abu Dhabi Community Cooperative (ADCC), has floated an online store that relies on cooperative principles to deliver services in critical sectors to society.
The first-of-its-kind Emirati entity, ‘ADCC’ is dedicated to empowering members of the UAE community through innovative solutions to improve their quality of life.
The digital platform, which is currently in its first phase, will be available only to cooperative members, who will receive a free 30-day subscription beginning December 2 as ADCC celebrates the UAE's Golden Jubilee. As a result, the general public will be able to use this e-store.
In its initial phase, the online store sells 100,000 competitively priced, high-quality, and community-development-oriented products. This figure is expanding by the end of 2022. Electronics, fashion and beauty items, home and office appliances, grocery items, healthcare, baby products, Picnic, camping, and sporting goods are also available for purchase.
The ADCC cooperative's projects aimed at serving the community's ever-changing needs and interests, and this online store is a manifestation of that. the e-store was a step toward modernising the traditional cooperative concept by providing innovative economic solutions in a way that is relatable to a modern society. This e-store redefines the concept of online shopping by integrating consumers.
The ADCC was formed in 2019 as a result of a Ministerial Resolution issued by the Ministry of Economy. It was sponsored and supported by the Emirates for Community Empowerment, an incubating company for third-sector entities that promote socio economic innovation in order to improve the quality of life in the UAE.
