The Municipal Administration faces great challenges in overcoming social problems and the generation of equal and inclusive development. In view of this, it seeks to apply the public policy for a social and solidarity-based economy, and to create, strengthen, and consolidate Associative Production Units (APU). The methodology used is supported by a qualitative and interpretive research method and uses semi-structured interviews with the legal representatives of social and solidarity-based organizations intervened by Medellín City Council. The results show that it is not enough to provide the necessary conditions for the emergence of such initiatives, but rather they have to be strengthened and consolidated in the market.
