Introduction
Securing funding for social and solidarity economy (ESS) projects is a major challenge in an uncertain economic context. Revealer of Intangible Wealth (RRI) offers innovative methods combining impact assessment and strategic partnerships to ensure the sustainability and development of these projects.
Why is impact assessment crucial for securing ESS funding?
Funders, whether public or private, seek guarantees on the effectiveness and impact of the projects they support. A rigorous impact assessment not only measures the effectiveness of the actions taken but also attracts and reassures potential funders.
- Objectification of results: Accurate data on impact demonstrates the added value of projects, thereby enhancing credibility with funders.
- Transparency and traceability: ESS actors must prove the proper use of funds, which is facilitated by a documented and accessible impact assessment.
How can ethical AI enrich impact assessment?
RRI uses ethical artificial intelligence to enhance the accuracy and depth of impact assessments. Here’s how:
- Big data analysis: AI enables the processing of large amounts of qualitative and quantitative data, providing a more comprehensive and nuanced view of impacts.
- Weak signal detection: Through advanced algorithms, AI identifies emerging trends that can inform strategic decisions and prevent potential crises.
Strategies to diversify ESS funding
Diversifying funding sources is essential to reduce financial risks. RRI supports ESS actors with several key strategies:
Build multi-stakeholder partnerships
Partnerships with diverse actors, such as public institutions, private companies, and NGOs, offer opportunities for financing and cooperation.
- Mobilization workshops: RRI organizes training sessions and seminars to strengthen collaboration and trust among potential partners.
Use tools for capitalizing on know-how
Formalizing and disseminating best practices and lessons learned within the organization helps enhance credibility with funders.
- Reports and summaries: Providing clear and structured summary documents helps share successes and justify future funding needs.
