Episode notes

Olga Shirobokawa and Sasha Hazelmeyer talk about how social entrepreneurs can work with governments to achieve systems change. This podcast season complements the online course for social entrepreneurs on the same topic that Ashoka launched in fall 2020. The online course aims to help social entrepreneurs develop a clear strategy, how to engage with governments to improve systems together.

In the second episode of Season 2, Sascha Haselmayer and Olga Shirobokova explore the role communities play in keeping governments accountable. You will hear examples of how social entrepreneurs from Peru, the UK, Romania, India and the US empower people affected by a social problem to take charge and effectively engage with governments in order to improve public services.

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.
