Within the framework of the 2^nd World Summit for Social Development (WSSD2), SESRIC, the League of Arab States (LAS) and the Arab Labor Organisation (ALO) will co-host a solutions session on “Digital Pathways to Formalization in the Social and Solidarity Economy”, scheduled for 4 November 2025 at the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC) in Doha.

The session will explore how digital transformation, when paired with supportive policy environments, can accelerate the transition from informal to formal employment through the social and solidarity economy (SSE). It will highlight real-world examples of how digital tools and inclusive economic models can empower vulnerable groups, improve livelihoods, and promote digital accessibility for persons with disabilities.

The session will feature policymakers, experts, and grassroots actors to share success stories, discuss policy innovations, and foster regional collaboration. Key themes include digital inclusion, web accessibility, and the role of digital registries and contributory social insurance in supporting formalization.
