Message from the Chairperson
Nurturing and Growing Social Enterprises
It has been more than a year since we started to build up PEF’s institutional capacity to deliver some progress towards our new thrust on social enterprise promotion and development. With perhaps an over enthusiasm on my part, I thought that PEF was prepared to hit the ground running on social enterprise initiatives. Realities on the ground, however, did not allow us to run or even do brisk walking.
We learned instead to take a few baby steps towards our goal of improving the economic well being of households and communities through social enterprise. To guide our process, we developed a 30-month roadmap on how we will nurture and grow social enterprises.
