CCEDNet has recommended a series of federal initiatives designed to better support CED organizations, develop human capital, increase community investment and support social enterprise. Although these recommendations are most immediately targeted at the federal government, they should be implemented with active participation by provincial, municipal and First Nation governments.

A policy framework representing the priorities of the Canadian CED sector was developed in 2001 through a national engagement process. Five regional policy forums were held throughout Canada; participants gathered for dialogue and debate on what kinds of policy would best support their work. The policy framework was further refined and adopted at a final policy forum in Vancouver that was attended by more than 200 people from across Canada.
