Acknowledgments

Researchers are grateful to UNDP Brussels for the valuable opportunity to carry out such an insightful analysis of territorial cohesion and social economy experiences in the current Italian scenario, especially given the current global pandemic context. Indeed, the research allowed a thorough insight into illustrative and inspiring Italian experiences which can lay the foundations for similar initiatives in many other diverse contexts around the world. A special thanks goes to Andrea Agostinucci, Giovanni Camilleri, Raffaella Garutti, and Johannes Krassnitzer for their constant support and their thorough and constructive contribution to the research. We are grateful for the time and kind availability provided by the interviewed key informants , who greatly enriched our understanding of the current Italian scenario. Finally, our gratefulness extends to the interviewed contact persons for our selected case studies. Their contribution has been of fundamental value for the elaboration of our Guidelines and it will pave the way for future territorial partnerships to foster social economy and territorial cohesion across the world.
