LOCAL ROOTEDNESS FOR SOCIAL ECONOMY ENTERPRISES
We collaborated with the Pôle jamésien d’économie sociale to create an English-language version of its document explaining “ancrage territoriale” (local rootedness). For any social economy enterprise project, it’s essential that strong local roots and connections be created with local and regional institutions, citizens, the sector of activity, and the solidarity finance ecosystem. This chart explains who makes up these different categories and what kind of support they can offer, both financial and in-kind. It also shows how to have governance practices rooted in the community, as well as how to calculate your project’s social utility, which is the effect it’s having on your community.
TIESS: SCALING IN THE SOCIAL ECONOMY
Territoires innovants en économie sociale et solidaire (TIESS) has created a guide called Scaling in the Social Economy. This guide helps you plan for growth with your social economy enterprise and maximize impact.
