Lei 14.133/2021 Art. 75, IV, j allows direct award of recyclable-waste services to 'associações ou cooperativas formadas exclusivamente de pessoas físicas de baixa renda' recognised as waste pickers; Lei 15.068/2024 has no procurement provision and a regulation to admit SSE enterprises to priority segments was not proposed (2024 PPA monitoring): 'contracts reservable for a subset (... disadvantaged workers)'. · source 1 - P2 · National policy push: 100 (national plan or rule with a target or quota for social clauses or the SE share)
Decreto 11.430/2023, amended by Decreto 12.516 of 17 Jun 2025, requires contractors in continuous-service contracts to reserve 'um percentual igual ou superior a 8% das vagas' for women in situations of domestic violence: 'national plan or rule with a target or quota for social clauses'. · source 1 - P3 · Evidence of use: 33 (individual cases reported)
By 31 Dec 2025 only case-level evidence on the federal social clause (8% of posts for women in situations of violence) had been published: MGI reported 14 women placed under one contract (Oct 2024). A TCU audit published in 2026 (period Jan 2024-Jun 2025) aggregates 1,114 contracts, 178 subject to the quota and 74 women hired, and finds 'ausência de metas e indicadores claros' and no structured monitoring system, so no yearly national series existed in the period; family-farming purchase data (PAA, PNAE) are not counted as they concern family farmers, not SE: 'individual cases reported'. · source 1 - P4 · Capacity support: 67 (a government training programme or helpdesk documented to cover social clauses or reserved contracts, for contracting authorities or for SEs)
MGI ran a series of formative workshops for federal contracting bodies on the 8% quota (Brasília, 9-10 Oct 2024) and issued a guide (Mar 2024); no government programme training SSE enterprises on procurement was found: 'a national (government) training programme ... for contracting authorities or for SEs'. · source 1

Legal recognition of SEs 3.2.1 · level 3 of 3Lei 15.068 of 23 December 2024 ('Lei Paul Singer': solidarity economy enterprises, Política Nacional de Economia Solidária, SINAES), regulated by Decreto 12.784 of 19 December 2025 · sources 1 2 3 4 5L1100L2100L3100L4100L5100 Criteria and evidence- L1 · Adoption stage: 100 (in force)
- L2 · Scope: 100 (general: SE broadly, including a status open to several legal forms or any purpose)
- L3 · Implementing rules: 100 (all adopted, or none required)
The law calls for a regulation on the national policy (Art. 8 §1), the national register (Art. 9) and SINAES membership (Art. 13 §4). Decreto 12.784 of 19 December 2025 (DOU 22 December 2025 per LegJur; the MTE PPA monitoring gives 19 December as the publication date) regulates all three: PNES, SINAES membership, CADSOL as a public electronic register run by the MTE (Arts 17-22), with SENAES coordinating (Art. 25). The register itself had been regulated earlier by Portaria MTE 481 of 28 March 2025 (revoking Portaria 30/2005). Further acts are required by the decree, not by the law (MTE act on conference methodology, Art. 12; SIES ordinance under revision in 2026). - L4 · Status or register: 100 (operating, entities recognised)
Cadastro Nacional de Empreendimentos Econômicos Solidários (CADSOL), reactivated in 2025 after the old register closed in 2020; approval yields a Declaração de Empreendimento Econômico Solidário (DCSOL). 2,602 enterprises registered in 2025 (target 2,500); 2,982 at 30 June 2026 (MTE PPA monitoring, Programa 4006); 28 local registration commissions supported in 2025. - L5 · Bodies foreseen by the law: 100 (set up)

SENAES runs PPA 2024-2027 Programa 4006 'Economia Popular e Solidária Sustentáveis' (technical-advisory bases, public SSE centres, incubator support, solidarity-finance advice, fairs) and the Programa Paul Singer of territorial agents: 'national programme dedicated to SE, run by government'. · source 1 - E2 · Territorial coverage: 100 (all regions (national network of support centres))
The Programa Paul Singer's 500 agents work 'em todos os estados do País' and ran the first national diagnosis in Aug-Oct 2025; 54 state coordinators were hired under Edital 7/2024: 'all regions (national network ...)'. · source 1 - E3 · Public funding of support: 100 (national budget line)
Financed from the federal budget: the ministry's 2024 EPS budget of R$10 m plus R$10 m added for the agents line, with fairs, public centres and finance advice funded through parliamentary amendments to the federal budget: 'national budget line'. · source 1 - E4 · Continuity: 67 (two to four years)
The programme scored in E1 is PPA 2024-2027 Programa 4006 run by SENAES; the official programme document states that SSE policies 'sofreram descontinuidade após o impeachment da Presidenta Dilma, em 2016', that SENAES was re-created with the Ministry of Labour in 2023 and that the PPA 2024-2027 is to 'retomar essas políticas'. A smaller federal SSE line did run under the Ministry of Citizenship in 2021-2022 (action 215F 'Fomento e Fortalecimento da Economia Solidária', R$ 11.1 m in 2022), but the current support programme dates from 2023-2024: 'two to four years'. · source 1 - E5 · Range of services: 100 (three or more)

| EU funds mobilised for SE 5.1.1 F10F233F333F433 Criteria and evidence- F1 · Programming: 0 (SE not mentioned)
F1 refers to the EU's multiannual indicative programme for the country. Brazil is programmed under the regional MIP for the Americas and the Caribbean 2021-2027, whose Brazil priorities are 'an environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive economic recovery' and 'promoting digital transformation', with no occurrence of social economy, solidarity, cooperatives, social enterprise or entrepreneurship (draft of 30 Apr 2021); the EC country page gives Green Deal and digital transformation as priorities. The OECD global SSE action (FPI) is not country programming: 'SE not mentioned'. Draft MIP read, final text not opened. · source 1 - F2 · Calls and instruments: 33 (general calls whose themes name social economy or social entrepreneurship, or documented SE grantees in general calls)
Under the EU Delegation's general civil-society call EuropeAid/168954/DD/ACT/BR (CSO-LA), the EU awarded contract CSO-LA/2021/426-715 'Fortalecimento das OSCs de economia solidária na incidência política nacional e internacional' to Unisol Brasil (Central de Cooperativas e Empreendimentos Solidários) with Unicopas, Unicafes and other SSE networks (EU contribution 450,000, 36 months); no call dedicated to SE was found: 'documented SE grantees in general calls'. · source 1 - F3 · Channel: 33 (civil-society grants only)
The only EU funding found for Brazilian SSE organisations is the CSO-LA grant to Unisol Brasil and its SSE co-applicants; no government body is applicant, co-applicant or affiliated entity (public institutions appear only as indirect beneficiaries and advocacy targets): 'via civil-society grants only'. · source 1 - F4 · Evidence of take-up: 33 (anecdotal)
Take-up is documented only for single actions: the Unisol Brasil CSO-LA action (network of 2,500 solidarity enterprises, about 400,000 people targeted) and Belo Horizonte's participation in the EU-funded OECD SSE action (2021); no EU or national report counts SE beneficiaries or projects: 'anecdotal'. · source 1

| Dedicated national funding 5.2.2 N1100N233N367N4100 Criteria and evidence- N1 · Dedicated line: 100 (dedicated line for SE broadly)
The federal budget carries a popular and solidarity economy line under PPA Programa 4006 (MTE), whose stated purpose is SSE broadly; MTE also issued the Coopera Mais Brasil call (Sep 2025) for solidarity enterprises and cooperatives: 'dedicated line for SE broadly'. · source 1 - N2 · Instrument types: 33 (one type)
The line works through grants (termos de fomento and calls to CSOs and agents); a public SSE fund was dropped 'por questões de constitucionalidade' (CNES, 7 Oct 2025) and an SSE financing programme was still under study: 'one type'. · source 1 - N3 · Continuity: 67 (two to four years)
A federal SSE budget line ran in 2022 (Ministry of Citizenship action 215F 'Fomento e Fortalecimento da Economia Solidária', dotação R$ 11.08 m, R$ 10.73 m committed), in 2023 (SENAES re-created) and in 2024-2025 under PPA Programa 4006 with calls in 2024 and 2025; in 2021 SSE spending found ran through a general productive-inclusion action (20GG, TED 12/2021 managed by the SSE coordination), so five consecutive years of the line are not shown: 'two to four years'. · source 1 - N4 · Execution: 100 (amounts or beneficiary numbers published for 2024 or 2025)
The 2024 PPA monitoring report gives the 2024 budget (R$10 m plus R$10 m added), Edital 10/2024 (R$10 m for 500 agents) and beneficiary counts (1,197 initiatives, 140 finance enterprises advised): 'amounts or numbers of beneficiaries published for 2024 or 2025'. · source 1
