About the Seminar

 

Current research and practices have proven that social entrepreneurship is one of the fastest ways to create positive impact and tackle challenges confronting Africa. Many people across the continent, both young and old, have identified such challenges and have begun their own economic and social enterprises with the motivation of making impactful contributions to meeting the needs of society. One of the major challenges encountered by (social) enterprises are the questions growth and sustainability. Growth and sustainability should be measurable in size and in time. 

This webinar addresses factors and practices that hinder sustainability of social enterprises leading to deprivation of the social impacts that come with it.  It provides a step by step approach to growing (social) businesses and seeks to enhance the impact society enjoys from it and at the same time, boost the financial resilience of businesses for today and the future. Renowned and accomplished (social) entrepreneurs, investors and scholars will serve as resource persons to provide a complete toolbox to participants in ensuring that their social enterprises in the various African countries will be successful in meeting the current pace and dynamics of becoming successful sustainable value creators and social impact makers. The webinar is designed for startups, social entrepreneurs and people ready to venture into social entrepreneurship.

This webinar is organized by the West Africa Development Project of the Social Entrepreneurship Incubation Program (SEIP) in partnership with Idea2Market Africa.
