On Tuesday 1 April, the European Commission approved 135 new projects under the Technical Support Instrument (TSI). Among them is a multi-country project dedicated to the development of regional and national social economy strategies, bringing together Wallonia, France, Portugal, Croatia and Greece.
The IAT is a strategic tool of the European Commission aimed at supporting Member States in the design and implementation of structural reforms. By providing targeted, high-quality expertise, it helps to strengthen economic, social and territorial cohesion across the European Union.
In this context, Wallonia aims to consolidate and modernise its social economy ecosystem. Building on its experience, we will benefit from the support of the OECD and the European Commission to develop a new regional strategy over a 24-month period.
This work is in line with the Alternativ'ES Wallonia roadmap, and will aim to respond to the new challenges faced by social economy enterprises. The objective is clear: to adapt the strategy to the concrete needs of the Walloon ecosystem, strengthen its impact and support its sustainable growth.
To achieve this, relevant monitoring tools will be put in place, alongside close consultation with players in the field, to ensure that the strategy is truly co-constructed and has a high impact.
