The OECD Global Action report on “Promoting Social and Solidarity Economy Ecosystems” offers valuable insights into the growing role of social procurement in both public and private sectors. This comprehensive report highlights how procurement from social and solidarity economy (SSE) entities can generate substantial social dividends, addressing societal needs while promoting local economic development. By focusing on social value, this report underscores the potential of social procurement to enhance social cohesion and sustainability. It examines key challenges in market access for SSE entities and provides actionable recommendations for policymakers to foster inclusive procurement frameworks, enabling a shift towards more socially responsible purchasing practices. As social procurement gains traction globally, this report is a crucial resource for understanding how governments and businesses can work together to create lasting social impact.
