Abstract
En Galicia se registra un incremento sostenido del número de entidades de economía social (ES) desde 2008, particularmente del número de cooperativas activas. Esta tendencia se mantiene incluso en años de mayor incidencia de la crisis económica. En este contexto, en 2012 nace la Red Eusumo para el fomento del cooperativismo y la ES, concebida con un doble objetivo: (a) ayudar y acompañar en la implantación de nuevos proyectos de ES (entendidos como aceleradores de empleo); y (b) contribuir a la consolidación de las empresas de ES existentes, mediante la mejora de su competitividad.
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el papel que la Red Eusumo, entendida como política pública de fomento de la ES, ha tenido desde su creación, tanto desde una perspectiva directa -en la creación de entidades de ES en Galicia, la promoción, difusión y mejora de conocimiento de la ES- como desde una indirecta, en lo que se refiere a su contribución al desarrollo de un ecosistema favorable al desarrollo y consolidación de la ES en la comunidad autónoma. Para ello, este trabajo se inicia con la descripción de la Red Eusumo, detallando sus objetivos, las bases de su funcionamiento, las entidades que la conforman y su financiación. A continuación, se ofrece una perspectiva genérica de la evolución de la ES gallega en el período 2008-2019, discriminando los períodos ante-post Eusumo para testar si existe un comportamiento diferencial. Posteriormente, se analiza la influencia que la Red Eusumo ha tenido en la configuración de un ecosistema favorable para la consolidación de la ES gallega. Para finalizar, se aportan las principales conclusiones del análisis, incluyendo unas sugerencias de mejora para el mejor alcance de objetivos y obtención de sinergias que favorezca el papel de esta herramienta como motor de desarrollo y consolidación de la ES en Galicia.
In recent years, an ecosystem aimed at boosting Social Economy (SE) through the creation of different tools designed to tackle the different needs that the creation and consolidation of organisations within this sector require, has been consolidating in Galicia. The Eusumo Network, legally established by Decree 225/2012 of 27 November 2012, stands out among this group of measures. The main objective of this paper is to analyse the role the Eusumo Network has played since its creation, as well as to consider its impact on the development and expansion of an ecosystem which favours the consolidation of SE in Galicia. In order to do this, this paper comprises two different parts: in the first one, our study is contextualised within the framework of the development of the public policies involved in the promotion of SE in Spain, and then the Eusumo Network is described. This description includes Eusumo’s main objectives, the activities carried out to boost their achievement, the organisations that take part in the Network and the coordination process between them. This part ends with the analysis of the financial aid allocated to the Network and to the organisations that make it up, within the context of contemporary public policies that support SE. The second part of the paper focuses on the results obtained by the Network in the last eight years, paying special attention to its impact on SE public policies in Galicia and, in particular, on the creation of an ecosystem favourable to the consolidation of SE in this region. Finally, the main conclusions and recommendations drawn from our study are summarised. The study follows a descriptive and evaluative approach. To do this, a quantitative analysis of the data and indicators obtained from different sources has been carried out, namely: the activity reports of the different units responsible for SE in Galicia in the last years and the execution report of the Eusumo Network; the historical records of public procurement in Galicia; the statistical data provided by the official records of cooperatives and the budget allocation of the autonomous government before and after the creation of Eusumo. The results of the study show, in the first place, that the Eusumo Network has fulfilled the aims set in the decree of its creation, which focused on contributing to the promotion and dissemination of SE in Galicia, with particular attention to entrepreneurship and to the creation and consolidation of employment.
