Designing a Sustainable Micro-Enterprise Tailored to Community Needs – Notes from the NWC
Abstract
Scalability. Replicability. Sustainability. These are the three golden tenets of creating an impactful social enterprise in the developing world. For good reason too, as they provide a reliable scaffolding in designing enterprises that achieve focused objectives – particularly in terms of improving measurable health outcomes, or economic bottom lines at scale. When the objective itself is to create an enterprise to fit a specific community and its multiple needs (rather than to create a singular product across multiple communities), however, this tried and true approach fails.
