MODELS OF ENGAGEMENT

➊ CSO as Exclusive Demand Aggregator - This has proven to be a very simple and direct engagement between developer and CSO. Scale up will primarily happen through this model

➋ CSO on Board of Directors- This model has shown deeper engagement between CSO and developers and key learnings have come in the area of customer !nance requirements

➌ CSO as Joint Venture Partner - Large CSO will like this model and already the model has seen favorable collaborations outside Gujarat as well

➍ CSO as Design Partner - CSO’s with design and architecture skills see a great collaboration in this model of engagement

Brazil

Housing for All Brazil

Lindalva and Ilo dream to build a house big enough for their three children and sister-in-law.

Today they all sleep in one room, but their dream is to build a room for each of their children.

Reforma Mais has provided them with credit and technical assistance for starting to build a second floor to their home. Over time, the floor will accommodate three rooms, a bathroom and a service area.

“It’s been wonderful; we plan to pay it all back and then move on to the next phase.”

Ilo (right-hand) drew his family’s dream on paper. With Reforma Mais, Ilo and his family were able to translate that drawing into a new space for all the family to enjoy.

One of the immediate benefits of home improvement is to provide privacy to both parents and children.

HOUSING FOR ALLCONSOLIDATED LEARNINGS

CONSOLIDATED LEARNINGS 2008-2010

What has not worked

Initial local partners in Brazil were not strong and as a result Ashoka ended up too involved at the grassroots level In the !rst pilot, we tried to do too much as opposed to focus on a few variables like !nancing + technical assistance Ashoka’s slow recruitment process has generated delays in the launching of some of the pilots

What worked!

Rapidly mobilized signi!cant partnerships with leading companies and citizen sector organizations in four countries Leveraged the knowledge of Ashoka Fellows and their local networks Established the basis for the launching a global housing community of like-minded partners entrepreneurs

KEY SUCCESS FACTORS

➊ Appropriate local market context and competitive environment

➋ Mission alignment for all entrepreneurs involved: pro"t & impact

➌ The right balance in terms of scale and motivation of partners

➍ Scalable Win-Win value propositions for ALL partners

➎ Strong networks at the community level
