The French Council of Investors in Africa (CIAN) is organizing a webinar on April 29 on the theme: Social and Solidarity Economy & CSR in Africa: what challenges, what priorities and what partnership articulations with Corporate Social Responsibility?

The social and solidarity economy provides operational solutions to inclusion or environmental issues, such as access to mesofinance, Energy, Education, employment … but also because it is driven by the dual dynamic entrepreneurial and digital, especially on the continent. The advances, initiatives, impacts are many and varied, the impact real even if sometimes difficult to measure.

What ambitions, what approaches, what objectives to set for this dynamic when you are a public or private institutional actor? What framework, what alliances, what initiatives between SSE actors and companies, especially in the context of the Social Responsibility of actors operating on the African continent?

These topics will be addressed by:
