Background situation
The financial crisis in Europe, as well as the unstable financial and political situation in many Mediterranean Partner Countries, has made apparent that new and credible alternatives to the mainstream economy are needed.
These transformations in the economy and the society have brought increased attention to the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) actors that have been capable of helping to turn the challenges into opportunities.

Examples are:
NGOs
Cooperatives
Mutual societies
