The Strategický rámec sociálního podnikání 2026-2030 was approved in July 2025 (government material) and is referred to by MPSV as the strategy framework for 2026-2030 and by the Liberec Region (Jan 2026) as 'národní strategický dokument' setting priorities and goals to 2030; adopted before the reference date, its period starting in 2026: 'adopted and in force on 31 Dec 2025'. Framework text not opened, hence medium. · source 1 - S2 · Dedication: 100 (dedicated national SE strategy or action plan)
The framework is dedicated to social entrepreneurship broadly, not only integration social enterprises (Liberec regional concept): 'dedicated national SE strategy or action plan (adopted)'. · source 1 - S3 · Operational content: 33 (objectives only, or measures without named responsible bodies)
The content could not be read; as a 'strategic framework' it sets objectives with implementation left to later plans, and no measure-level responsible bodies, targets or budget were verified: 'objectives only, or measures without named responsible bodies'. · source 1 · low confidence - S4 · Monitoring: 33 (monitoring foreseen in the text)
No monitoring body or report was found; the framework only starts in 2026, so at most 'monitoring foreseen in the text' (assumed, not verified). · source 1 · low confidence - S5 · Participation of SE organisations: 33 (public consultation only, or a general statement that stakeholders took part)
No list of drafting-group or monitoring-body members was found; sector involvement (TESSEA network, MPSV consultations) is documented only in general terms: 'public consultation only, or a general statement that stakeholders took part'. · source 1 · low confidence

Act No 468/2024 on integration social enterprises makes the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MPSV) the body that grants status and keeps the register (s. 8, 13); MPSV also runs SE policy, but a dedicated SE unit was not verified: 'a ministry named as responsible in a law ... within a broader unit'. · source 1 - I2 · Breadth of mandate: 100 (the social economy / SE broadly)

The OECD country fiche (2025) lists no SE-specific consultative body: the advisory bodies it names are the Government Council for Non-Governmental Non-Profit Organisations (an NGO council) and the tripartite RHSD, 'not specifically focused on social economy'; TESSEA ČR acts as a 'state partner' in preparing subsidy calls without a formal body; MPSV's SE pages and its ESF+ projects (Rozvoj ekosystému sociálního podnikání 2023-2026, Inspiro 2026-2028) name none: 'none'. · source 1 - I4 · Inter-ministerial coordination: 0 (none)
The OECD country fiche (2025) describes cooperation between MoLSA and the Agency for Social Inclusion but no formal inter-ministerial coordination mechanism on the social economy, and none was found on MPSV's pages: 'none'. · source 1
