NGOs Urged to Become Social Enterprise

Wednesday 6 November, 2013 - 14:33

As the world coffers appear to gradually dry up at a time when most non-governmental organisations are donor driven, it is about time these so-called non-profit making groups embrace the concept of social enterprise to sustain their projects.

According to an analysis by Tonderayi Matonho, these organisations also need to build positive relations with the people and communities they have assisted for the many years they have been in existence.

The Wonderful World of Social Entrepreneurship

Earlier this year I applied to the Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) to study their course in social entrepreneurship.

It’s a phrase that smacked of jargon, and one which I felt I probably knew enough about anyway – I set up a social enterprise (unsuccessfully) in South Africa, so it wasn’t an entirely new concept.
