The crisis related to the Covid-19 health crisis has had a considerable impact on the whole world. The impact of the pandemic is very heterogeneous.It is now widely accepted that the pandemic has caused a multidimensional health, economic and social crisis. It still continues to generate consequences since it is still not mastered.

Morocco has not been spared these consequences, from a macroeconomic point of view, all indicators have fallen sharply, revealing a decline in Moroccan growth to 0.8%-2.3%, due mainly to containment measures and the decline in foreign demand.

Also, several service or production companies operating in different sectors have suffered temporary or permanent closure, with activities reduced or even stopped, resulting in many job losses.

Like many sectors, the third sector has not escaped the impact of the health crisis. The structures of the social and solidarity economy have been stopped by the governmental restrictions linked to the world pandemic of Covid-19, which has certainly impacted their activities and jobs.

It is in this logic that we have chosen to conduct an exploratory field study in order to answer the following question: "Socio-economic impact of COVID-19 on the activities of SSE enterprises?".

Thus, this research paper explored the socio-economic impact of COVID-19 on the activities of SSE structures during the state of health crisis in Morocco. To do so, an exploratory study targeting companies of this sector was conducted in the Eastern region in order to reveal the impact of the health crisis on the activities of these companies.
