Dear friends and colleagues,

The Social and Solidarity Economy is gaining visibility in national policy
circles as well as within the United Nations system. UNRISD continues to
stimulate an open-minded yet critical dialogue that facilitates an
interesting debate on trends within SSE. We are also participating in SSE
events worldwide, including the upcoming 5th RIPESS International Meeting
of SSE <http://ripess.org/manila2013> that will take place during
15-18October in Manila, the Philippines. An update from us:

We are launching an initiative on the contribution of cooperatives to
sustainable development, in collaboration with the ILO Cooperatives Unit
and the International Co-operative Alliance (ICA). As part of this
initiative a background study is being drafted to be presented in policy
roundtables, conferences and seminars in 2013-14. The study will be
informed by a survey and in-depth interviews with representatives of the
cooperative movement from around the world. If you are affiliated with a
cooperative, we ask you to take a moment to fill the *survey*. By providing
your inputs you will contribute to communicating the critical role
cooperatives play in achieving sustainable development goals. The deadline
for the survey is *October 15, 2013*. Please feel free to disseminate this
message among your networks. *Please click on the links to take the survey
