RIPESS is the Intercontinental Network for the Promotion of the Social Solidarity Economy, which 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 sector networks, serving as a communication and tool platform for the Solidarity Economy. RIPESS organizes global forums every four years.
