(c) Renewable Energy. The study covers mapping and
evaluation of organized SE activity (government recognized
legal structure) within each sector. The selection of the

consutations.This report attempts to bridge the information
gap for the SE ecosystem in the SAARC region excluding
India. While analyzing the SE landscape and ecosystem in the
South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC)
countries, this report aims to provide insights to various
stakeholders to design initiatives for deeper assessment of
the priority sectors and segments for promoting social
entrepreneurship across these countries. |
