On 30 March 2026, the DICES Project will host an online webinar examining how social economy organisations across Africa are shaping care provision through participatory governance and economic democracy.
Bringing together insights from representatives of the International Cooperative Alliance – Africa and ONG PFAC (Partenariat France & Afrique pour le Codéveloppement), the discussion will explore how social economy actors operate in diverse African contexts and how national regulatory frameworks influence working conditions in the care sector.
The session will look closely at the relationship between organisational democracy and labour conditions. How do governance models affect care workers’ rights, voice, and job quality? What role do public policies play in enabling (or constraining) social economy initiatives? And how can the DICES research findings be meaningfully applied across different African regions?
Participants will also be invited to reflect on what European and other global contexts can learn from African experiences in building inclusive, community-based care systems.
The Diesis Network will moderate the conversation.
