The Potential of the Social Economy for Local Development in AfricaBarka Foundation
The document provides an overview and exploratory analysis of the potential role of the social economy in supporting local development in Africa. It begins with definitions of the social economy and its role in local economic development globally. It then examines the social economy in Africa through case studies of Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, and Morocco. In Ethiopia, cooperatives play a key role in local development and poverty reduction by improving market access and financial services for rural communities. Mutual aid organizations and associations focus on social integration and support for vulnerable groups. Overall, the social economy is a growing sector in Ethiopia that works closely with government and nonprofit partners on development programs.

Reducing poverty in Africa - Realistic targets for the post-2015 MDGs and Age...Barka Foundation
The eradication of extreme poverty is a key component of the post-2015 MDG process and the African Union’s Agenda 2063. This paper uses the
International Futures forecasting system to explore this goal and finds that many African states are unlikely to make this target by 2030. In addition to
the use of country-level targets, this paper argues in favour of a goal that would see Africa as a whole reducing extreme poverty to below 20% by 2030
(15% using 2011 purchasing power parity), and to below 3% by 2063.
The document proposes a pilot program to reconnect and reintegrate Central and Eastern European migrants experiencing homelessness in Dublin to their homelands. The program is a joint initiative between Dublin City Council, the Mendicity Institution charity, and the Polish NGO Barka. The goal is to reconnect 20 migrants over six months, concentrating on those residing in emergency accommodations in North Frederick Street. Key outcomes of the pilot program include demonstrating the benefits of collaboration between statutory and NGO partners to achieve positive outcomes for migrants with no means of support in Ireland.
Evaluation of the impact of the free movement of EU citizens at local levelBarka Foundation
This document provides an evaluation of the impact of free movement of EU citizens at the local level. It examines local policies and impacts in six cities: Barcelona, Dublin, Hamburg, Lille, Prague, and Turin. The study finds that intra-EU mobility has led to economic and social impacts in these cities, with EU mobile citizens filling jobs and supporting key industries. However, EU mobile citizens do not always have the same opportunities as locals in areas like employment, housing, and education. As a result, cities have implemented inclusion policies across domains such as employment, entrepreneurship, cultural dialogue, housing, education, attitudes toward migration, and civic participation to foster successful integration and maximize the benefits of mobility. The report identifies best practices

Discussion paper on collaboration - Baiba Dhidha MjidhoBarka Foundation
This document discusses collaboration between the Barka Foundation of Poland and the Royal Pokomo Nations of Tana River County, Kenya. It provides background on Africa's vast size and diversity, as well as the challenges of colonialism and poor governance that have hindered development.

The document outlines the agenda for an event titled "MORE THAN A ROOF" taking place on December 2nd, 2014 at the Jubilee Room in the House of Lords.
