| Summary: | This paper examines the contribution of
international organizations to the development of the social
enterprise sector worldwide, and assesses the types of
programs and policies international organizations are using
to promote this agenda globally. The results indicate that
international organizations' support to the social
enterprise sector has consisted primarily of providing
financial resources, notably grants. However, international
organizations' contributions to developing
sector-specific policies have been limited. Furthermore,
many programs that are supported by international
organizations remain largely unassessed. The paper proposes
a set of policy recommendations directed primarily to
international organizations and the public administration,
to improve and enhance the development of the social
enterprise sector. |
