description |
While its poverty rate has fallen
slightly over the past two decades, the DRC remains one of
the poorest countries in the world. The unaddressed demand
for service delivery will require local private sector
solutions to meet the needs of the poor, marginalized, and
other underserved populations. Social enterprises (SEs)
champion emerging private sector solutions to bring services
to these populations, by switching from charity-based,
donor-dependent organizations to revenue generating and
sustainable enterprises. This report provides an overview of
opportunities for, and constraints to, social
entrepreneurship in the DRC and lays out a menu of options
for strengthening social entrepreneurship through
development programs. |
