Good practices in social economy – methods and indicators of evaluation

“Evaluation” and „good practices” can be found and analyzed in detail on the wide realm of interdisciplinary and social fields, which requires a brief definition in order to maintain the rigor and clarity, but also an analysis of those conceptual areas which study the relationship between the projects implementation and assessing their results. Transfer of best practices in the social economy has the objective to interconnect the positive results at the level of the national social partnership from the European Union countries in this field by organizing seminars, round tables and symposia, exchange of best practices, study visits and publishing of working principles, manuals, and guides. This analysis presents several methods and indicators that constitute the basic elements of the researchers involved in mapping the positive practices of social economy. To achieve this goal, a desk-research was conducted based on the evaluation projects in this field and especially on the methodological approaches used.
