The social and solidarity economy as a partner along the refugee journey
Produced as part of the OECD Global Action “Promoting Social and Solidarity Economy
Ecosystems” funded by the European Union, this paper explores the role of the social
and solidarity economy (SSE) in implementing and complementing public systems for
refugee protection, reception and integration. In particular, it reviews the different
activities SSE entities can deploy in support of forcibly displaced populations, asylum
seekers and refugees, along their journey from origin through to destination countries.
Finally, it offers some policy considerations on how the SSE can help national and
local governments identify win-win solutions for refugee and host communities.
