Working Groups on Cooperatives and Social Economy
The Working Groups on Cooperatives and Social Economy are instances in which representatives of trade unions, cooperatives, civil society organizations and the academic sector participate in proposing solutions to promote food sovereignty, solidarity economy and poverty reduction. There are local roundtables, which occasionally participate in regional meetings, and once a year in an annual national meeting.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
