Résumé

La pauvreté est un problème complexe qui nécessite des réponses systémiques et collaboratives. Cet article examine les stratégies de changement systémique mises en oeuvre par l’équipe Économie inclusive d’End Poverty Edmonton (EPE) pour lutter contre la pauvreté grâce à un développement économique inclusif. Au moyen d’approches communautaires pour assurer un apprentissage participatif et stratégique, des données ont été obtenues à partir de documents internes, de comptes rendus d’apprentissage et de vingt-six entretiens avec des membres du personnel et du réseau d’EPE. Cinq stratégies ont émergé : créer des réseaux, plaider en faveur d’un changement de politique, faire progresser la réconciliation économique, évaluer des approches visant à transformer les systèmes économiques et favoriser l’apprentissage en vue de développer un approvisionnement et une main-d’oeuvre inclusifs. L’équipe Économie inclusive a joué le rôle de coordinateur et d’acteur du « quatrième espace », établissant des liens entre le secteur sans but lucratif, le secteur gouvernemental et le secteur commercial. Les résultats montrent comment les acteurs à but non lucratif peuvent soutenir l’innovation sociale et influencer les politiques grâce à un changement systémique collaboratif et axé sur l’équité.
