Summary/Abstract: The transfer of knowledge and good practices from developed countries is necessary but insufficient for developing social enterprises in countries with emergent markets, such as Romania. The financing sources, the regulating framework and the integrated approach of the critical social problems are only a part of the challenges which determine nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to identify their own formula for developing some social enterprises adapted to the local context. This case study presents the difficulties that Prietenia Association encounters in its undertakings to implement a social enterprise for the integration of the mentally disabled people, having at core the model of its Swiss partner, Sonnhalde Gempen.
