Nesta dissertação investiga‑se o papel das Organizações da Economia Social (OES) no acolhimento de pessoas migrantes cabo‑verdianas na Área Metropolitana de Lisboa (AML), integrando tanto a perspetiva de representantes das OES como a visão de um especialista em migrações. Portugal, historicamente reconhecido como um país de emigração, tornou‑se, nas últimas décadas, um país de destino. Destaca‑se a importância histórica e sociológica dessas comunidades cabo‑verdianas, uma das mais antigas e expressivas no contexto migratório nacional.
A forte presença da comunidade cabo‑verdiana na AML impulsionou a criação de redes comunitárias sólidas, compostas sobretudo por associações ativas e outras formas de organização social, que desempenham um papel central no acolhimento e integração de recém‑chegados, nomeadamente por meio de apoios jurídicos, mediação cultural, informação sobre os direitos e acompanhamento psicossocial.
A partir de uma abordagem qualitativa, foram realizadas entrevistas com dez profissionais das OES e com um especialista em migrações. A investigação procura compreender as ações desenvolvidas por estas organizações, a sua capacidade de mobilização de recursos, os desafios enfrentados e o impacto das suas intervenções na vida das pessoas migrantes.
Os resultados indicam que, apesar das adversidades e limitações estruturais, as OES desempenham um papel essencial na promoção da inclusão social, funcionando como mediadoras entre as pessoas migrantes, as instituições públicas e outras entidades da sociedade civil. Conclui‑se que estas organizações são fundamentais na resposta a necessidades que o Estado, muitas vezes, não consegue alcançar, oferecendo intervenções mais eficazes, culturalmente adequadas e ajustadas às necessidades específicas das comunidades migrantes.
This dissertation investigates the role of Social Economy Organizations (SEOs) in welcoming Cape Verdean migrants to the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (LMA), incorporating the perspectives of both SEO representatives and a migration expert. Historically recognized as a country of emigration, Portugal has, in recent decades, become a destination country. The study highlights the historical and sociological significance of these Cape Verdean communities, which constitute one of the oldest and most prominent groups within the national migration landscape. The strong presence of the Cape Verdean community in the AML has fostered the creation of solid community networks, composed mainly of active associations and other forms of social organization, which play a central role in welcoming and integrating newcomers, particularly through legal support, cultural mediation, information on rights, and psychosocial assistance. Using a qualitative approach, interviews were conducted with ten SEO professionals and with a migration specialist. The research seeks to understand the actions developed by these organizations, their capacity to mobilize resources, the challenges they face, and the impact of their interventions on the lives of migrants. The results indicate that, despite adversities and structural limitations, SEOs play an essential role in promoting social inclusion, acting as mediators between migrants, public institutions, and other civil society entities. The study concludes that these organizations are fundamental in addressing needs that the State often fails to meet, providing interventions that are more effective, culturally appropriate, and tailored to the specific needs of migrant communities.
