Summary

The Addis Ababa Conference will be the occasion for the Leading Group on Social and Solidarity Economy to focus on Social and Solidarity Finance and to demonstrate the potential of Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) for the post-2015 agenda. The localization of the solutions for a sustainable development as well as the partnerships between public, the various forms of enterprises of the private sector and the potential of the civil society are crucial issues to be addressed. Social and Solidarity Finance (SSF) should therefore be promoted as a support for SSE and more broadly for local and social development.

The objectives of the side-event of the Leading Group on Social and Solidarity are therefore to:
– demonstrate, by highlighting concrete examples, how Social and Solidarity Finance, as a support for SSE enterprises as a means of implementation of SDGs, should consequently be promoted
– propose consequently an action plan for both FfD and post-2015 agenda
