OVES

The Basque Observatory of the Social Economy (OVES) was created under the collaboration agreement of 30 December 2008 signed between the Basque Government, represented by the Minister of Justice, Employment and Social Security, and GEZKI.

The OVES was created to observe and track the activity of the social economy of the Basque Autonomous Community. Its advisory committee is composed of the Basque Government, the University of the Basque Country and representative organisations of the social economy.

The OVES addresses three contents or functional areas:

• Socio-economic area: collection and monograph publication of the economic data of social economy entities.
• Legal area: analysis of the laws, soft law and public policies that affect the social economy of the Basque Country.
• Scientific-academic area: to complete a documentation centre of scientific publications about Social Economy.
