Authors : Souna Abdelkader . Kacimi Ramdane .

Abstract

Society increasingly needs new forms of socially oriented activities. It is suggested that social enterprises should be compatible with the characteristics of traditional rural life. Collective action related to the countryside is important for social enterprises initiated and managed by the community. There is also evidence from various areas of rural community life that rural residents are innovative and adaptable in responding to the distinct societal challenges they face. The objective of this study is to shed light on the role of social entrepreneurship in achieving rural development, along with a review of successful international models of social entrepreneurship in rural areas.
