Abstract: Abstract Social economy has seen a massive resurrection in Central and Eastern European Countries subsequent to accession the European Union (EU), which made Community Initiative (CI) EQUAL resources available to civil society organizations in these countries. Over 100 development partnerships in Poland alone have attempted to implement diverse and innovative solutions aimed at social inclusion. The majority of these undertakings created either transitory or permanent employment opportunities, while approximately half named public administration as their main client. In other words, over fifty entities targeted fully commercial companies in marketing their products, aiming to create sustainable jobs in quasi-corporate segments of the goods and services markets.
