%X This paper focuses on the analysis of programs, projects and activities of five Romanian women¡¯s rights NGOs that are actively involved in the promotion of gender equality, women¡¯s social and economic development, and also in actions regarding the social inclusion and economic development of other groups of vulnerable population. They are successfully undertaking a bottom-up approach of community development by acting at the local, regional and even national levels, both by creating public-private partnerships and also alone. These NGOs are also successfully applying the social economy principles and practices for social and economic development. The bottom-up approach for community development is perceived as being a more efficient method compared with the traditional top-down approach which often fails to address context-related problems, resulting in the marginalization of some problematic local and even regional groups of population.
