ABOUT RIPESS

RIPESS is an intercontinental network that connects social and solidarity economy networks throughout the world. As a network of networks, it brings together continental networks, that in turn bring together national and sectoral networks. RIPESS believes in the importance of global solidarity in order to build and strengthen an economy that puts people and planet front and center. From Lima to Quebec, from Dakar to Luxembourg, RIPESS organizes global forums every four years and is a nexus for learning, information sharing and collaboration.

HISTORY OF THE RIPESS CHARTER: During the 3rd Globalisation of Solidarity meeting Dakar (November 2005), a first draft of the RIPESS Charter was established. The Draft version was then translated and members were asked to comment and improve. Different subsequent versions were established and the final version was adopted by the RIPESS Board of Directors in a meeting held in Montevideo, Uruguay, in October 2008.

RIPESS is actively engaged in mapping social solidarity economy enterprises, institutions, and support organizations across the world, with the goal of visibilizing them, reproducing them, and building supply chains among them. This work is currently being done on the local and national level in many countries, and RIPESS is striving to develop a mechanism to create, facilitate and integrate mapping on a global scale.
