As momentum builds across African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries to enhance support for the social economy, this live event will explore some of the legal and policy approaches that are being developed to foster its growth. Featuring social economy experts, the event will draw on the lessons learned from two ICR Facility interventions in Jamaica and Ghana, as well as from other initiatives supported by the European Union and other actors, exploring impactful strategies for developing a legal framework and drafting national policies that accelerate the development of the social economy. This, in turn, can help foster a more inclusive and sustainable business environment, address social and environmental challenges, and improve livelihoods, notably for those disadvantaged in the labour markets.
