The theme “Harmonizing SE and SSE Initiatives for ASEAN’s Contribution to the SDGs” is fundamentally about uniting social enterprises (SEs) within the broader Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) framework.
We zero in on the work of organizations - such as cooperatives, mutual societies, and community enterprises - that prioritize social impact and collective well-being, which is at the core of both SE and SSE. By synergizing SE and SSE efforts, ASEAN aims to address social and environmental challenges while generating sustainable economic growth. As we strive for higher sustainability targets, it is vital to build a social impact ecosystem with solid local and regional linkages across sectors, where SE and SSE efforts can thrive and mutually reinforce shared objectives.
The Philippine Social Enterprise Development Roadmap (SE Roadmap) is a strategy that exemplifies this multi-sector approach. Launched in 2023, the SE Roadmap provides a blueprint to grow and scale the social enterprise sector through collaboration among key stakeholders, including the academe, cooperatives, MSMEs, corporations, NGOs, and the public sector.
What you can expect at the conference:
See how the SE Roadmap bolsters the democratization of SSE initiatives and cross-sector collaboration;
Join this robust platform for sharing best practices and building strategic partnerships among SE and SSE movers across regions;
Connect with local and regional impact-movers and align SDG efforts to ensure that our initiatives contribute meaningfully to a sustainable and inclusive future for ASEAN.
