Approximately 100 development actors will gather at Cotabato City for the “1st Stakeholders Conversation on Social Solidarity Economy (SSE) and Social Enterprise (SE) Development in the Bangsamoro.”
The activity, to be held at Pagana Restaurant Kutawato on December 19, 2015, will advance a collaborative, responsive and inclusive development intervention blueprint for the Bangsamoro people.
“Amidst influx of support for development efforts, poverty incidence remains extremely high coupled with intense conflict situation.” lead organizer Joselito Libres, Chief Executive Officer of Solidarity for Global Peace, Ecology and Inclusive Economic Development (SUCCEED Global) said.
He said the gathering will enhance understanding on SSE and SE as Alternative Economic Development frameworks and concepts towards inclusive economic development and sustainable peace in the Bangsamoro and define the ways forward (i.e. formation of regional network and/or platform, other mechanism for collaboration) on the promotion and advancement of SSE/SE in the region.
“The participants' experiences, views and opinions would surely help in integrating and upscaling interventions in the bangsamoro areas,” Libres added.
