Episode notes

The chapter explores the challenges of social entrepreneurs in collaborating to tackle global issues like climate change and Sustainable Development Goals. It emphasizes the need for enhanced networking, cooperation among stakeholders, and transitioning from lobby papers to impactful proposals. The discussion underscores the significance of forming cohesive associations, monitoring reports, and securing funding through partnerships with government entities for scaling up social impact projects.

The third episode of season two examines how cooperation among social entrepreneurs can help governments design effective support measures for the whole field of social entrepreneurship.

We spoke to Markus Sauerhammer, Chair of the German Association of Social Entrepreneurs, and learned what helped them get to the point when every political party in Germany references social entrepreneurship in their program.

If you are interested to learn more about how social entrepreneurs can effectively work with government and what are the examples, we encourage you to have a look at our new free online course on this topic at https://academy.vc4a.com/courses/trabajo-con-el-gobierno/ (Spanish version) and www.ashoka.org/working-with-government (English version). The online course and the second season of the Ashoka Systems Change podcast were developed thanks to the support and in partnership with PES Latam.
