Abstract

In recent decades, solidarity economy practices have gained visibility in Brazil, in terms of public policies. Within the scope of the state of Minas Gerais, important advances were noted, such as Law No. 15,028, of January 19, 2004, regulated in 2008 (State Decree No. 44,898), which instituted the State Policy for Fostering the Popular Solidarity Economy (PEFEPS) in the state of Minas Gerais. In 2015, the State Plan for the Development of the Solidarity Popular Economy in Minas was drawn up Gerais by the Solidarity Popular Economy Mineiro Forum (FMEPS), involving enterprises, support entities and public managers. Several city halls develop specific programs aimed at the solidary economy, although the reach and perpetuity of these actions have not yet been fully documented. This text seeks to discuss the trajectory of the solidary economy in the state of Minas Gerais in the last fifteen years, considering the role played by the various actors involved and aiming to establish a comparison with the national panorama. The second section brings a characterization of solidarity economic enterprises (EES), while the third presents a history of support and promotion actions in the state level. Finally, in the fourth section, a brief conclusion and discussion of the results are presented.
