AcknowledgmentsThis report was prepared by Cristina Navarrete Moreno (Private Sector Development

Specialist) and Natalia Agapitova (Senior Economist). However, without the contribution

of several colleagues the report would have not reached its final form. Therefore, we are grateful for the help of Elaine Tinsley, Belen Sanchez, Marta Milkowska, Ergun

Ertekin, Juan Carlos Guzman Hidalgo, Branislav Kralik, Niharika Hanglem, and Pallavi

Shrivastava.

The report uses data and information gathered by Endeva and BoP Learning Lab. We

wish to acknowledge the great inputs received and the particular effort of Sara Balan

Overview InSub-SaharanAfrica,with388millionpeoplelivingonlessthanthepovertylineofUSD1.90perdayandrapidpopulationgrowth,thechallengeforthepublicsectortodeliverserviceswillonlygrowinthecomingyears.1Sofar,traditionalactors,includinggovernments,civilsociety,andtheprivatesectorhavebeenunabletosolvetheproblemofprovidingessential,qualityservices,suchasaccesstowater,energy,sanitation,education,andhealthcare.Inthiscontext,socialenterprises(SEs)haveemergedasanewtypeofdevelopmentactorwiththepotential to help solve the service delivery gap. During the last decade, SEs in Africa increasinglyaddress service delivery gaps for the poor in novelways,with Kenya and SouthAfrica among theleadingcountriesintheSEsector.SEsareprivatelyownedorganizations—eitherfor-profit,non-profit,orahybridofthetwo—thatusebusiness methods to advance their social objectives. They focus on maximizing the social andenvironmentalimpactfortheirtargetbeneficiariesincontractofmaximizingtheshort-termprofitsfortheir shareholders and private owners. Due to their strong presence and understanding of localcommunities, SEsareoftenable to reachunderservedpopulations through flexibleand innovativebusinessmodels.Although positive examples abound, SEs have not yet fully realized their potential in Africa.Withvariationsacrosssectors,manySEsstruggletoscale-upanddevelopsustainablemodels.SEsfacehighbarriers that areoftenaggravatedby thedifficultmarkets they serve.Commonchallenges includeunconduciveregulationandpolicy,lackoffinancingsolutions,weakinfrastructureandhumancapital,andalackofinformationandnetworks.Inaddition,SEsarenotorganizedasasectorandfallbetweentraditionally recognized public and private organizations. The public sector often does not play acatalyticrole.TheSEecosystemiscomprisedofactors,institutions,andnetworkthatsupportSEsincontributingtodevelopmentgoals.Inmanydevelopingcountries,theSEsectorstilllacksasupportiveecosystem,orenabling environment,whichwould allow theseorganizations to thrive and grow. Four ecosystemdimensions capture the enabling environment for SEs: policy and regulation, financing solutions,infrastructure and human capital, and information and networks. Where these dimensions areimproved,SEscansignificantlycontributetoaservicedeliverychallenge.In developing countries and in particular inAfrica, there is limited data collected and analyzedonexistingsupportingfactors,challenges,andopportunitiesfortheSEsector.ThisreportprofileshowSEs across seven African countries—Kenya,Malawi, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, andZambia—address service delivery gaps for poor populations and assesses the status of their SEecosystems. The report targets development practitioners involved in policy design andimplementationwhoareinterestedinnewwaystoaddressservicedeliverychallenges.Thesespecificexamples of challenges and opportunities for SEs in Africa can highlight ways to increase thesustainabilityandscaleofcurrentandfutureSEbusinessmodels.
