About the project
The Respond Rebuild Reinvent (RRR) project is one of the six Peer Learning Partnerships (PLPs) of the OECD Global Action “Promoting Social and Solidarity Economy Ecosystems”, funded by the European Union’s Foreign Partnership Instrument. The RRR project was designed to enhance knowledge and learning exchanges between city administrations and other stakeholders from the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) ecosystem with the aim of: improving cross-sectoral collaboration; explore how local administrations can tap into the potential of SSE ecosystems to explore COVID-19 related challenges; and understand how to co-create more integrated support ecosystems for SSE development.
In line with wider findings, the RRR PLP showed that the COVID-19 pandemic has in many cases strengthened ties between cities and their SSE ecosystems. The partnership helped to confirm growing demand for tools and methods for enhanced ecosystem workings, particularly ways to foster long-term, horizontal relationships and to harness the power of innovation to address long-standing social challenges.
