Our project MedRiSSE is full of funny words: 'capitalization', 'replicable innovations' & acronyms: 'WCoP', 'Lab', 'SSE' but ... What is it we really intend to do in MedRiSSE? Well, we are getting the experiences of five very interesting projects and reviewing their good practices to enhance their value. Our experts are looking for what we can learn from these good practices to reuse -or replicate- them in other places or time; and to scale them up, making them bigger & available to a wider audience, to benefit more people.<br>

What will it do for the world?
MedRiSSE is a capitalization project funded by the European Union under the European Neighbourhood Instrument for cross-border cooperation in the framework of the Mediterranean Basin Programme 2014-2020 (ENI CBC Med). It involves 8 partner entities and 7 associated entities, from 5 countries (Spain, Italy, Palestine, Jordan and Tunisia) with a total budget of 1.1 million euros (90% programme contribution) and an estimated duration of 24 months, until September 2023.
The project will generate clear evidence and solutions to overcome existing identified barriers and provide public institutions, the donor community, SSE practitioners, local partners, and a multitude of other stakeholders with sustainable, low-cost, and innovative capacities to deliver quality social services. Supporting the development of national, regional, and local social economy ecosystems will be a major step in order to boost job creation and innovation, to foster social inclusion.

The Lab will work to develop territorial platforms for cooperation associating all the actors. The Lab will be hosted by PP3 in Palestine and will have branches in Tunisia and Spain. Its governance will be shared. It will benefit from the experience in Social Entrepreneurship of PP3, PP2 (MedUP) and PP4 (MedTOWN). PP7 will mainstream the CITESS methodology into the design of the LAB and will work with PP3 on the creation of the first Palestinian CitESS in Tubas, as a local pole of cooperation and SSE services. <br>

This system, based on financial innovation tools developed under MedTOWN project and other EU funded projects involving associate partners (Digipay4Growth – City of Santa Coloma de Gramanet or B-MINCOME, City of Barcelona) will contribute to the emergence of partnerships and, through a series of workshops led by PP5, the prototyping of transferable models for catalysing SSE innovations in the field of coproduction. <br>

Context

MedRiSSE project is a cooperation project that seeks to lay the foundations for replicating innovative models throughout the Mediterranean arc that promote the creation of quality jobs, help create businesses and accelerate public-private processes of municipal service provision, within the framework of the Social and Solidarity Economy. MedRiSSE will demonstrate that co-production of public goods with Social and Solidarity Economy can provide with low-cost, highly effective, and scalable solutions to fight poverty, inequality, social exclusion and environmental unsustainability.

MedRiSSE is a capitalization project funded by the European Union under the European Neighbourhood Instrument for cross-border cooperation in the framework of the Mediterranean Basin Programme 2014-2020 (ENI CBC Med). It involves 8 partner entities and 7 associated entities, from 5 countries (Spain, Italy, Palestine, Jordan and Tunisia) with a total budget of 1.1 million euros (90% programme contribution) and an estimated duration of 24 months, until September 2023.

Objectives

The main goal of the project is to develop a Mediterranean scalability pathway for social innovations that enable the co-production of municipal services with local Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) actors that have emerged from interactions between government and SSE involved in several EU-funded projects. These mentioned projects are MedTOWN, MoreThanAJob, MedUP!, RUWOMED & IESS.

In order to reach this objective, the strategy of the project revolves around widening the SSE and Co-production Community of Practice (WCoP) launched by the MedTOWN project, further involving policy makers, SSE actors, researchers, etc. The WCoP will benefit from social innovations and capacity building resources regarding the role of SSE in the promotion of decent jobs and social inclusion (MoreThanaJob), the promotion of SSE ecosystems (MedUP, IESS, progress) and the empowerment women in cooperatives through fair trade and eco-tourism (RUWOMED). The WCoP will be linked to a new Mediterranean Co-production Lab (LAB) that will help establish conditions for innovation in the delivery of public services through alliances with SSE and help them identify and foster opportunities for collaboration. The lab will develop an evaluation methodology to understand the potential for scalability of the different co-production models or social innovations, which, in turns, will evolve into a Mediterranean Co-production Toolkit for Public Sector Innovation. This Toolkit will help both SSE practitioners and public servants understand and apply innovation in their daily work. Lastly, the project will continue the communication and policy dialogue initiated by the 5 capitalised project under a harmonised approach, to continue advocating for legal and institutional reforms and policy innovations aimed at supporting emerging sectors of SSE, as well as the concepts of “co-production” and “social economy".
