While associations are not the only ones to innovate socially, they represent a potential that is still little valued in Algeria. Indeed, as in many Global South countries, social innovations originating in the social and solidarity economy are introduced with great discretion and struggle to survive. The importance of local attachment (Hillier et al., 2004), of local and participative initiatives, and of the economic and social context to be taken into account, as well as forms of governance, influence the social impact of associations. Producing and capitalizing on values remains one of the difficulties that Algerian associations are struggling to overcome. This reality often makes it difficult for them to define a strategic position that would allow them to “take power over existence” (Cloutier, 2003). This article takes as a case study the association “El Badr,” from the wilaya of Blida, with its volunteer-run accommodation center, which functions as a “second home for cancer patients.” We will highlight how the actors of the “El Badr” association became aware of their production of values and what points of reference enabled them to develop arguments supporting their claim to be socially innovative.
