| dc.description | Based on current knowledge of advances that have been made over the last 20 years in CED and the social economy, in Canada and in other jurisdictions, the importance of enabling legislation, policy and programs is evident (Quebec, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Belgium, Brazil, Spain, Italy, Britain). The range, scale and durability of impacts appears to be significantly enhanced where the architecture of public policy is strategic and supportive. Beginning in 2004 CCEDNet, the Chantier and the CCA made some modest progress in advancing a federal policy agenda that took into account this learning. Other than the CCEDNet inventory of 4 years ago, there has been no attempt to do a systematic inventory of current policies. Doing an update is thus timely. However, it is important to note that what is being proposed is not a mere update of what exists. Central to this work is the design of a classification system codified from practice, rooted in exemplary practices, and taking into account what we know about policy in jurisdictions where CED and the social economy have been demonstrably strengthened. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | This project proposal/plan outlines a research project of the BC-Alberta Social Economy Research Alliance (BALTA). The research will involve conducting an inventory of federal and provincial legislation (in Canada and the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia), policies and programs that are relevant to community economic development and the social economy. Initial work will focus on developing a classification framework to guide the inventory. This will be followed by a systematic surveying and analysis of relevant legislation, policies and programs. | en |
