"Make poverty history and give the poor people the right and the mean to develop there creative. This will be the only way to develop adapted solution to there current situation. The complementary and specific money is part of this strategy. Change and open your mind." Jean-Luc Roux

Complementary Currency Systems are appropriately-designed social and economic networks which encourage cooperation and reciprocation, self-reliance and mutual aid, local production, micro-small enterprise development, socio-economic solidarity and economic justice for the meeting of needs, cultural revitalization, socio-economic solidarity and rural reconstruction.

Complementary Currency Systems use a medium of exchange that circulates together with the national currency to support the local economy in a way that is socially just. Click here for a brief introduction to Community Currency Systems in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
