Policy Guide on Legal Frameworks for the Social and Solidarity Economy
The Policy Guide on Legal Frameworks for the Social and Solidarity Economy aims to
support countries, regions and cities wishing to use legal frameworks as an appropriate
lever to develop conducive social and solidarity economy (SSE) ecosystems. Building
on data and information as well as good practice examples from over 33 countries,
it provides step-by-step guidance, success factors and "pitfalls to avoid" to help
policy makers i) assess why and when legal frameworks for the SSE are needed; ii)
select legal options and involve stakeholders; iii) evaluate the performance of laws,
and, iv) foster international peer learning on this topic. The guide also capitalises
on learnings from the scoping paper on Legal frameworks for the social and solidarity
economy, prepared as part of the OECD Global Action “Promoting Social and Solidarity
Economy Ecosystems”, funded by the European Union’s Foreign Partnership Instrument
and Designing Legal Frameworks for Social Enterprises: Practical Guidance for Policy
Makers.
