When it comes to the inclusion of marginalized groups, integration of newcomers, service accessibility, and inclusion of people with disabilities or diminishing autonomy, the SSE is a key partner of local governments to ensure service delivery to the entire population. By virtue of practices that enable communities to meet their own needs, innovative and sustainable solutions to complex social issues, and the diversity of groups it serves and sectors in which it operates, the SSE fosters inclusion and stronger social cohesion in cities, and, in so doing, makes neighbourhoods safer.
