The issues related to access to financing are central to debates worldwide, especially in Africa. This article aims to analyze the effects of access to financing on the performance of female small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Republic of Congo. To achieve this, we used primary data from 11,105 businesses from the “Recensement” (census) of very small, small and medium enterprises and self-employed workers, conducted by the “Institut nationale de la statistique” (INS, 2017) of the Republic of Congo in 2017. The estimates are based on the instrumental variables two-stage least squares method. The results obtained show that access to financing is a favourable factor for the performance of female businesses in the Congo and lead to recommendations of economic policy for inclusion, training, and incentive.

A research partnership of eight territorial community development structures has highlighted initiatives that have led us to the idea that the social and solidarity-based economy could offer a privileged avenue for translating into concrete projects efforts to achieve the transition from an economy focused on a growth imperative to an economy of sobriety aimed at better collective living. The article begins by outlining how the transition issue arises in the development of the territorial communities where the research was carried out and then identifies how much these initiatives fall within the social/solidarity based economy and how this perspective offers for socioecological innovations a pathway to the systemic transformation demanded by the socioecological transition. The prospect of developing economically viable businesses seems to us to be a necessary step if socioecological transition initiatives are to become an effective lever for systemic change. In this respect, inclusion in Québec’s social economy expertise is an interesting avenue.

Several social economy and community action organizations are experiencing executive management transitions. Nonprofit executives are the interface between a paid staff and a volunteer board of directors. This particularity is not without effect on the executives’ organizational socialization, which is itself linked to their retention and performance. Therefore, it is relevant to ask how do organizational contexts and board of directors’ practices influence executives’ socialization experience? To address this question, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 10 executives of workplace integration nonprofits. Our results highlight the importance of practices associated with transparency and board–executive management dialogue from the earliest stage to facilitate the continuation of the socialization trajectory and reveal the emergence of paradoxical dynamics (virtuous/vicious circles).
