Replicability Roadmaps
What are the Replicability Roadmaps
The aim of the Roadmaps is to provide guidance and resources for policymakers, public servants, and SSE practitioners in the Mediterranean wishing to replicate similar social innovation and co-production models and initiatives in other contexts and territories.
A total of 5 Roadmaps, one for each good practice identified from MedTOWN, MoreThanAJob, MedUP!, IESS! and RUWOMED projects, were elaborated by ARCO – Action Research for CO-development, under the MedRiSSE project.
Each Roadmap was built upon the results of the replicability assessment based on the evaluation framework elaborated by ARCO following a thorough literature review on replication and scalability methods on social innovations. The framework is grounded on a conceptual and interpretative framework based on the Sustainable Human Development paradigm and Capability Approach perspective (Sen; 1985,1999) which frames the Social and Solidarity Economy with a territorial ecosystem perspective. The assessments were primarily based on the desk review of project documents and materials, as well as information and insights collected during the semi-structured interviews carried out with key informants of the good practices.
