“…Grouping and collective work, sharing, trust, and reciprocity are rooted in traditions as a use value and as a cultural component often reaffirmed within endogenous organizations such as tontines, mutual aid clubs or informal solidarity associations, which remain active. At the same time (Toucas-Truyen & Doligez, 2021).The rural community is concentrated around culturally, religiously and socially monolithic tribes.

“…A crucial issue, is to know what factors determine the development of the social and solidarity economy in African countries? Following the literature (Abebaw and Haile 2013;Carson & Prado, 2016;Chèze et al, 2020;Chiputwa,Spielman, and Qaim 2015;Fischer, Qaim, and Goettingen 2012;Hardin, 1968;Luna, 2020;Tacconi & Aled Williams, 2020;Toucas-Truyen & Doligez, 2021), we assume that the motivations that drive farmers to join a social and solidarity economy organization are not necessarily economic, but institutional, psychosocial (cultural, identity and individualistic behavior of farmers).To test our hypothesis, we use survey data among a sample of farmers and stakeholders in rural areas in north-western Tunisia (Fig. 1).…”

The current study attempts to understand the factors that motivate farmers to engage in a SSE organization .The findings reveal that one of the most important pillars of the success of the social and solidarity economy is found in informal solidarity groups. Concerning the locking factors that prevent farmers to engage in initiatives of economy and solidarity organizations, the first reason is related to the negative symbolic representation of cooperatives inherited from the Tunisian institutional history, the memorial trauma of the collectivist experience of the 1960s, followed by the institutional and political factors determining this situation: the weak and inadequate intervention of the Tunisian state before and after the revolution.
