CO-RESP – Community Resilience Through Social Procurement

CO-RESP aims to help direct the local economy to create new jobs for persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups.

Through socially repsonsible public procurement (SRPP), CO-RESP aims to help direct the local economy towards creating new jobs for persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups. CO-RESP will maximise the use of SRPP by organising a Social Economy Mission, bringing together all relevant stakeholders, favouring the exchange of good practices and enhancing interregional collaboration between Social Economy actors, and regional/local authorities.
