Abstract: Abstract Social entrepreneurship has emerged as a new expression of an old concept (Dees, 1998) and has been able to capture the interest of many practitioners and researchers. This concept has emerged to solve social problems in an innovative and effective manner. The purpose of this chapter is to better understand the social entrepreneurship ecosystem in Tunisia, in the context of a democratic transition. We aim at identifying the main actors, their roles, and their interactions in this ecosystem besides highlighting some recommendations that are useful for nurturing entrepreneurship in Tunisia and that have wider applicability across the Arab region.
