A chapter in Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Fourth Sector, 2021, pp 147-158 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter is devoted to showcasing the results of a project called Partnership for local development in the Czech Republic. This was one of the first initiatives to informally create a space for developing the fourth sector on the local level. We found out– that the increasing role in the fourth sector activities is played by the public institutions and local residents rather than local private companies based on the results of the project in Brno, the Czech Republic. We see an emergence of hybrid organisations and initiatives which are created by multiple institutions and key stakeholders in the city of Brno. Effective cooperation and communication between three key stakeholders—local residents, public institutions and private companies—are key to the acceleration of the fourth sector activities further.
