Policy Guide on Social Impact Measurement for the Social and Solidarity Economy
As social and solidarity economy (SSE) entities are increasingly requested to demonstrate
their positive contribution to society, social impact measurement can help them understand
the additional, net value generated by their activities, in the pursuit of their mission
and beyond. Policy plays an important role to facilitate a conducive environment to
unlock the uptake of social impact measurement among SSE actors. Drawing on a mapping
exercise and good practice examples from over 33 countries, this international policy
guide navigates how policy makers can support social impact measurement for the social
and solidarity economy by: (i) improving the policy framework, (ii) delivering guidance,
(iii) building evidence and (iv) supporting capacity. Building on the earlier publication
Social Impact Measurement for the Social and Solidarity Economy released in 2021 the
guide is published under the framework of the OECD Global Action “Promoting Social
and Solidarity Economy Ecosystems”, funded by the European Union’s Foreign Partnership
Instrument.
