Resumo: | This article presents a qualitative comparison between two communities in Brazil and Italy, which host a solidarity organization. These communities promote sustainable and local development, empowering their residents, building an alternative way of producing, in a form of plural economy. Financial sustainability comes from public and private aid, and this can affect the durability of communities by making them dependent on funds. This condition weakens the possibility of local development. To develop this research we used the qualitative approach, and data were collected through structured and unstructured interviews, in addition to the participatory observation. The results demonstrate that the method of communication between solidarity economy networks and investors is relevant, because sometimes those who offer funds can contribute to building development conditions that are not truly empowering for the community. It is concluded that an adequate method of communicating the information necessary for community development can contribute to local empowerment, including possible problems of financial sustainability. |

Essas comunidades promovem o desenvolvimento sustentável e local, empoderando seus moradores, construindo uma forma alternativa de produzir, em uma forma de economia plural. A sustentabilidade financeira é proveniente de ajuda pública e privada, e isso pode afetar a durabilidade das comunidades, tornando-as dependentes de fundos. Esta condição enfraquece a possibilidade de ser criado um desenvolvimento local. Para desenvolver esta pesquisa, utilizamos a abordagem qualitativa, e os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas estruturadas e não estruturadas, além da observação participante. Os resultados demonstram que o método de comunicação entre redes de economia solidária e investidores é relevante, pois, às vezes, quem oferece fundos pode contribuir em construir condições de desenvolvimento que não são uma verdadeira capacitação para a comunidade. Conclui-se que um adequado método de comunicação da informação, necessária para o desenvolvimento das comunidades, pode contribuir para o empoderamento local, apresentando, inclusive, possíveis problemas da sustentabilidade financeira.Revista Informação em Pauta2017-07-28T13:20:56Z2017-07-28T13:20:56Z2016info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfGUARASCIO, Carmela.

Financial sustainability comes from public and private aid, and this can affect the durability of communities by making them dependent on funds. This condition weakens the possibility of local development. To develop this research we used the qualitative approach, and data were collected through structured and unstructured interviews, in addition to the participatory observation. The results demonstrate that the method of communication between solidarity economy networks and investors is relevant, because sometimes those who offer funds can contribute to building development conditions that are not truly empowering for the community.
