The Social and Solidarity Economy is an inherently 'territorial' practice, but it is not always fully connected to the key drivers of local (economic) development and local governance processes.

Therefore, to harness the transformative potential of the SSE, it is essential to explore the conditions and promote strategies to further integrate it with local development systems.

This session aims to promote a co-creation process in the application of a guide-tool for local governments on SSE policies and its implementation in different scenarios associated with the respective contexts of the participants.

goals

This session aims to explore the connection between SSE and central drivers of local (economic) development systems, and ways to evaluate and improve it effectively. The session will be based on a co-creation process that will adopt and apply as a methodological framework of reference the »Guidelines for local governments on SSE policies», an original tool developed as part of a joint research project carried out by GSEF and UNRISD. two organizations that comprise it, together with UNDP, ILO and others, belonging to the United Nations Working Group on Social and Solidarity Economy (UNTFSSE).

The guidelines should guide local actors - and session participants - in assessing respective contexts and promoting linkages between SSE and the main drivers of effective DL / LED processes in key thematic / functional blocks that include : legal and institutional frameworks; the co-construction of public policies through multi-stakeholder and multi-level governance mechanisms; the integration of the SSE into strategic planning mechanisms; support to SSE actors and organizations through specific structures, funding and services; research for innovation and the development of specialized capacities; access to markets; Communication strategies; data and information management.

The planned sequence of the session includes: the initial illustration of the topic and the structure and content of the guidelines; presentation of case studies associated with UNRISD / GSEF research and other relevant contextual frameworks for reference; and the discussion on the contexts of the respective participants through thematic groups that work on the different blocks of the guidelines.
