Summary of project results
The main issues covered are: Low implementation of legislation on reserved procurement, social procurement and green procurement in public and corporate procurement; limited knowledge of the activity of social enterprises and the use of social clauses in procurement among companies. Social impact is seen only in terms of the various activities carried out in the community, and procurement is not seen as a tool to ensure social impact.

There have been organised an advocacy campaign, meetings with public administration (8), info. sessions for companies (3) and training sessions for public administration.
