Being the European Platform of a broader Solidarity Economy Network, RIPESS Europe shares values and principles with RIPESS Intercontinental. 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.
The 6 continental members of RIPESS designate two representatives each (with the exception of Oceania) to the RIPESS Board of Directors, taking gender balance into consideration. Coordination and Vice-coordination are carried out on a continental rota basis by RIPESS Board members. They are jointly responsible for the implementation of the action plan, together with the Secretariat. There are also two seats on the Board that are reserved for international organisations (present on at least 3 continents). One of these was filled in 2016 by Urgenci.
