DEFINITION OF SSE the production of goods and services by a broad range of organisations and enterprises that have explicit social and often environmental objectives, and are guided by principles and practices of cooperation, solidarity, ethics and democratic self-management. The field of SSE includes cooperatives and other forms of social enterprise, self-help groups, community-based organisations, associations of informal economy workers, service-provisioning NGOs, solidarity finance schemes, amongst others. Production of goods and services Explicit social and often environmental objectives Principles of cooperation, solidarity, ethics, democratic self-management Types of SSE organisations (UN Task Force on SSE, 2014)

LINK OF SSE WITH SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Historical position of addressing the overlaps and trade-offs in between social and economic pillars. Its proponents understand that inter-linking social and economic goals brings its strengths (when actors succeed in deriving both income and social benefits through well- designed processes) and also weaknesses (when difficult choices have to be made when social and economic bottom lines clash). Rootedness of SSE in real world practices presents it as a viable model of transformative change.
