Discussion: Policies and Social Problems
Why is it important for social workers to understand policy? When you think of policies, you may tend to think of the federal policies that support services such as Medicare and state policies that support education and welfare services. However, sometimes the policies that have the greatest impact on clients are the policies of agencies and organizations.
Note
: An "agency or organizational policy" is a policy. For example, it might be part of a county welfare agency that requires an administrator at a juvenile correction facility to report any individual that is an illegal immigrant that comes to that facility.
In this Discussion, you will identify a policy at an agency or organization with which you are familiar. It can be a public agency, a for-profit human service provider, or a not-for-profit community agency. Describe the organization, the policy, and the social problem it addresses.
By Day 3

INTRODUCTIONAdressing Teen Pregnancy in Pittsburg, California
In more recent years, there has been an effort in my community to address teen pregnancy due to its growing rates. Over the years teen pregnancy rates have continued to rise in Contra Costa County as well as surrounding counties. Unfortanately, the town I come from is a small town within Contra Costa County so resources are limited. In order to address teen pregnancy there needs to be easier access to resources to prevent teen pregnancy from occurring. Teen pregnancy can lead to a number of different problems such as low socioeconomic status, greater chance of contracting a sexually transmitted infec.

Professional Ethics in Public Service
The question of ethics and public confidence is not a new one. In 1952 Adlai Stevenson, governor of Illinois said, "Public confidence in the integrity of the government is in-dispensable to faith in democracy, and when we lose faith in the system, we lose faith in everything we fight and spend for."
Ethics, the standards of behavior that tell us what we ought to do in our personal and professional lives, applies to all individuals, organizations, and society as a whole. High ethical standards are especially important in the public sector because they are key to credibility and lead to increased support for government agencies and political leaders.
Creating a culture of ethics in an organization can best be accomplished with the adoption of a values-based code of ethics. The ideal time to undertake the effort is when the individuals and the organization are unanimous in their commitment. Ethics codes cannot serve as a "flu shot" to prevent a problem, nor can the codes be used as an "antibiotic" to cure an ethics problem. Once established, the code must apply to everyone including elected and appointed officials, professional staff, and commissioners, as well as volunteers, vendors, and contractors.
Case study
A major goal of an ethics program is to increase awareness of ethics and values in the workplace. An example of creating a culture of ethics can be found in the development of a code of ethics and values undertaken by the cit.

For this assignment, you are provided with four video case studies (.docxsleeperharwell
For this assignment, you are provided with four video case studies (linked in the Resources). Review the cases of Julio and Kimi, and choose either Reese or Daneer for the third case. Review these two videos: •The Case of Julio: Julio is a 36-year-old single gay male. He is of Cuban descent. He was born and raised in Florida by his parents with his two sisters. He attended community college but did not follow through with his plan to obtain a four-year degree, because his poor test taking skills created barriers. He currently works for a sales promotion company, where he is tasked with creating ads for local businesses. He enjoys the more social aspects of his job, but tracking the details is challenging and has caused him to lose jobs in the past. He has been dating his partner, Justin, for five years. Justin feels it is time for them to commit and build a future. Justin is frustrated that Julio refuses to plan the wedding and tends to blame Julio’s family. While Julio’s parents hold some traditional religious values, they would welcome Justin into the family but are respectfully waiting for Julio to make his plans known. Justin is as overwhelmed by the details at home as he is at work. •The Case of Kimi: Kimi is a 48-year-old female currently separated from her husband, Robert, of 16 years. They have no children, which was consistent with Kimi’s desire to focus on her career as a sales manager. She told Robert a pregnancy would wreck her efforts to maintain her body. His desire to have a family was a goal he decided he needed to pursue with someone else. He left Kimi six months ago for a much younger woman and filed for divorce. Kimi began having issues with food during high school when she was on the dance team and felt self-conscious wearing the form-fitting uniform. During college, she sought treatment because her roommate became alarmed by her issues around eating. She never told her parents about this and felt it was behind her. Her parents are Danish and value privacy. They always expected Kimi to be independent. Her lack of communication about her private life did not concern them. They are troubled by Robert’s behavior and consider his conspicuous infidelity as a poor reflection upon their family. Kimi has moved in with her parents while she and Robert are selling the house, which has upended the balance in their relationship. For a third case, choose one of these videos: •The Case of Reese: -Reese is a 44-year-old married African American female. Her parents live in another state, and she is their only child. Her father is a retired Marine Lieutenant Colonel who was stationed both in the United States and overseas while Reese was growing up. She entered the Air Force as soon as she graduated high school at age 17 and has achieved the rank of Chief Master Sergeant. She has been married 15 years to John, and they recently discovered she is pregnant. The unexpected pregnancy has been quite disorienting for someone who has planned.
For this assignment, you are going to tell a story, but not just.docxsleeperharwell
For this assignment, you are going to tell a story, but not just any story. It will be a First Nations story, and it will be your version of it.
Choose one of the two stories at the end of this unit, either "Why the Flint-Rock Cannot Fight Back"
You can write of yourself telling one of the stories.
In telling your story, here is what you will need to consider:
Clarity of speech
Intonation
Pacing and pauses
You will also have to work out how to make this telling of the story yours. You might want to read it aloud with point form notes for a prompt or to memorize it. Perhaps you want to rewrite it so that it sounds more like your words. Maybe you will change names and place-names to those you are familiar with. If you are making a video or performing this live, you should practice facial and hand gestures as well as stance and body language. The purpose of all of this is to bring your own meaning to the story.
HERE IS THE STORY
Why the Flint-Rock Cannot Fight Back
Sto-Way’-Na—Flint—was rich and powerful. His lodge was toward the sunrise. It was guarded by Squr-hein— Crane. He was the watcher. He watched from the top of a lone tree. When anybody approached, Crane would call out and warn Flint, and Flint would come out of his lodge and meet the visitor.
There was an open flat in front of the lodge. Flint met all his visitors there. Warriors and hunters came and bought flint for arrow-points and spear-heads. They paid Flint big prices for the privilege of chipping off the hard stone. Some who needed flint for their weapons were poor and could not buy. These poor persons Flint turned away.
Coyote heard about Flint and, as he wanted some arrow-points, he asked his squas-tenk’ to help him. Squas-tenk’ refused.
“Hurry, do what I ask, or I will throw you away and let the rain wash you— wash you cold,” said Coyote, and then the power gave him three rocks that were harder than the flint-rock. It also gave him a little dog that had only one ear. But this ear was sharp, like a knife; it was a knife- ear.
Then to his wife, Mole, Coyote said: “Go and make your underground trails in the flat where Sto-way’-na lives. When you have finished and see me talking with him, show yourself so we can see you.”
Then Coyote set out for Flint’s lodge. As he got near it, he had his power make a fog to cover the land, and thick fog spread over everything. Crane, the watcher, up in the lone tree, could not see Coyote. He did not know that Coyote was around.
Coyote climbed the tree and took Crane from his high perch and broke his neck. Crane had no time to cry out. Then Coyote went on to Flint’s lodge. He was almost there when Flint’s dog, Grizzly Bear, jumped out of the lodge and ran toward him.
Coyote was not scared, and he yelled at Flint: “Stop your grizzly bear dog! Stop him, or my dog will kill him.”
That amused Flint, who was looking through the doorway. He saw that Coyote’s one-eared dog was very small, hardly a mouthful for Grizzly Bear. Fli.

Does the ringisei decision-making process by consensus, which is used by the Japanese, reach the same conclusion as the top-down methods, which are used by American management? Some might label the Japanese decision-making system as simply procrastination. Others appreciate the method and expect productive outcomes. One major challenge is to build an organizational culture to adopt the practice of ringisei. If only half of an organization uses ringisei, it is likely to cause miscommunication and result in frustration.
The ringisei is based on the theory that the employee is an important part of the overall success of an enterprise. It is common to hear a lot about
empowering the employees
. Is creativity and innovation rewarded, ignored, or punished for the lower level employee in America?
Could the Japanese system of decision making have led to the controversy of what Toyota knew about unintended acceleration problems? This may be the best example of the use of silence in the Japanese culture frustrating Americans as a nation. This is not an explicit accusation of Toyota or of Japanese culture. Rather, it is inserted here to demonstrate potential consequences of management methods, processes, systems, and decision making. Read pages 106-108 of Luthans and Doh (2012) concerning this topic. The cause of the unintended acceleration problem announced by the United States government was due to bad floor mats or driver error. Initially, electronic problems were not mentioned.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

A case study of health and agriculture social enterprises in
Kenya 1
1 Introduction
The purpose of this study is to understand the social enterprise
ecosystem in Kenya, with a specific focus on
the health and agricultural sectors. The case study is one of two
country studies looking at obstacles and
opportunities for social enterprises (SEs); the other country is
Vietnam. Kenya was selected because of
existing research connections, and because it is broadly
identified as a country where there appears to be
significant activity on social enterprise.
1.1 Social enterprise (SE) definition
16. ODI set out a definition for a social enterprise (SE), which the
study explored. The definition was used in
identifying SEs in Kenya, and the relevance of, and reaction to,
the definition is discussed. The definition of
an SE is as follows:
‘A business operation which has social or environmental
objectives which significantly modify its
commercial orientation’.
A ‘business operation’ here is defined as a non-state entity
which derives a significant proportion of its
revenue from selling goods or services. Forms of modification
of commercial orientation typically fall into a
number of categories. Business operations may exhibit one or
more of the following types, or other types, of
modification:
them as co-owners of the enterprise to achieve
a social objective (co-operatives).
-
market premiums or guaranteed prices to
suppliers (fair trade), above market wage rates to employees,
restraining business margins within fixed
limits (Grameen Bank) etc. in order to achieve a social
objective.
17. -subsidising a specific category of
customer as part of core business practice in order to
achieve a social objective.
or NGO source in order to sustain a
business which would not otherwise be viable in order to
achieve a social objective. The subsidy may be
provided in the form of direct financial subsidy or privileged or
protected access to markets (e.g.
government procurement contracts). (ODI, 2013)
1.2 Research questions
The Kenya case study team framed the overarching research
question and sub-questions as follows:
What drives innovation among SEs in Kenya’s health and
agricultural sectors?
the key actors and elements of the
political economy within which SEs operate?
Kenya, and the role of SEs within them?
agricultural SEs?
recommendations can be made to government, SEs, support
organisations, and other actors?
18. The study set out to offer findings on the three levels of the
ecosystem:

1.3 Methodology
The research design began with an in-depth literature review of
the agricultural and health sectors in Kenya
to understand prominent issues, stakeholders and policy
frameworks within each sector. The review then
began to identify SEs and support organisations to be
interviewed for the study. Qualitative semi-structured
interviews were conducted with SEs and support organisations
in Kenya to better understand the ecosystem
and explore findings from the literature. A final phase of the
study was a half-day workshop, during which
stakeholders discussed preliminary findings from the literature
19. and the interviews. This case study feeds into
an overall study paper entitled Social Enterprise: Constraints
and opportunities – evidence from Vietnam and
Kenya (Smith et al, 2014).
2 The Kenyan context
2.1 Social enterprise in Kenya
Structural adjustment in the 1980s-1990s, alongside donor
reluctance to channel aid through government,
saw reduction in fiscal spending on social services and safety
nets (Kanyinga and Mitullah, 2001). By the
1990s there was an increase in support to non-government
organisations (NGOs) to fill gaps in service
provision to the poor (Poon, 2011), and NGO activities
increased as a result. Fostered by an existing
‘tradition of philanthropy and volunteerism’, the NGO sector in
Kenya grew significantly (Kanyinga and
Mitullah, 2001:7). The aid paradigm pendulum has since swung
back towards recognising the role of the
state; however, strong emphasis remains on the private sector –
and in particular the attributes that enterprise
models offer in terms of sustainability and responsiveness to
consumer needs. This, combined with reduced
20. donor funding to traditional NGOs, weak public service
provision by government, and increasing support
from a range of philanthropic organisations, has triggered a rise
in the number of organisations identified as
SEs in Kenya.
Kenya has a vibrant private sector, employing around 1 million
people, and a very large informal sector of
around 10 million people, but links between the two sectors are
limited. One support organisation
interviewed for this study suggested a role for SEs in bridging
this gap. As organisations and donors began to
shift their attention towards the contribution of entrepreneurial
approaches to poverty alleviation, social
enterprise as a concept and practice became more prevalent in
Kenya. Globally recognised leaders in the
social entrepreneurship field, such as Ashoka, the Acumen
Fund, and the Schwab Foundation, established
offices in Nairobi. In 2010, the East Africa Social Enterprise
Network (EASEN) was founded.
EASEN is a locally founded membership organisation that seeks
to bring SEs together in order to network
and develop the sector. The establishment of EASEN created
one of the first locally based communities of
practice for SEs and related stakeholders. SocEntLab – an SE
21. and think tank based in Nairobi – was started in
2011 with the aim of building an ecosystem for
entrepreneurship in Africa. The Kenya Social Investment
Exchange (KSIX) was launched in 2011. Incubators, often
focused on information and communications
technology (ICT), but with a social emphasis, also began to
spring up. iHub is an incubator that supports the
development and prototyping of technological innovations,
many of which have a social impact focus.
Incubators for social enterprise include organisations such as
the Kenya Climate Innovation Center (CIC) and
Nailab. Universities are increasingly providing incubation space
and social enterprise curricula for social and
environmental innovation, such as Jomo Kenyatta University’s
UniBRAIN, KCA University’s Centre for
Entrepreneurship and Leadership, Strathmore University’s
@iLabAfrica research centre and Kenyatta
University’s Chandaria Business Innovation and Incubation
Centre. In the same period, teaching and research
of social enterprise and related fields have become more
prevalent at universities.

Policy and regulation
Kenya’s recent political history has been troubled. However,
there was a sense from interviews that the
reorganisation of the country’s leadership structure with the
promulgation of the new constitution in 2010
have made Kenyans more optimistic about their future. This
section presents a brief overview of some of the
legislation influencing SE activity. As the social enterprise
discourse in Kenya is still taking shape, and as
there is no distinct legally recognised entity or office of social
enterprise in Kenya, SEs use existing
organisational structures to operationally carry out their
mission. According to Chege (2009), SEs lack
recognition and support from governments, as well as access to
needed financial resources and business
development skills. Hence policy and regulation affecting non-
profit and for-profit bodies apply to SEs.
Those policies are further elaborated below.
‘The elections [2012] had a fairly big impact, field operations
were affected by the uncertainty in the run
up to the elections and after the elections. People don’t want to
23. invest in large ticket items when there is
so much uncertainty in the air. Political instability affects
people’s confidence’. – agriculture SE
2.1.1 Vision 2030
Vision 2030 was launched in 2008 by President Mwai Kibaki to
set out a new development strategy, a long-
term blueprint for how Kenya will become globally competitive
and prosperous by 2030. A government
agency was established to institutionalise Vision 2030. Centred
on three key pillars – Economic, Social, and
Political Governance – Kenya Vision 2030 seeks to achieve and
sustain a 10% annual growth rate and create
a just and equitable society and a result-oriented and
accountable democratic system (Government of the
Republic of Kenya, 2007). Despite the growth of SEs across
Kenya, there is no specific mention of SEs or
efforts to support them in the revised priorities, goals and
thematic foci of the second stage of Kenya Vision
2030 (Vision 2030, 2013). Nonetheless, Vision 2030’s staff and
framework may assist in highlighting social
enterprise in the policy discussions.
2.1.2 Non-profit strategy and regulation
There are several pieces of NGO legislation that may influence
24. non-profit SEs. The regulatory framework for
non-profit organisations is contained in the Companies Act of
1959 – Chapter 486 of the Laws of Kenya
(National Council for Law Reporting, 1959), while provisos for
NGO regulation are in the NGOs
Coordination Act of 1990 – Chapter 134 of the Laws of Kenya,
the NGO Regulations of 1992, and the NGO
Council Code of Conduct of 1995. The intention of the 1992 act
was to introduce a single authority for
registration and regulation of all NGOs in Kenya.
2.1.3 Private sector strategy and regulation
The majority of national policy and regulation refers to the
economic and social sectors independently, rarely
directly addressing SEs or attempting to provide an enabling
environment for SEs to develop and thrive. SEs
often operate as for-profit businesses, so the Private Sector
Development Strategy (PSDS) (2006-2010)
informs how social businesses operate. The PSDS is a plan to
‘catalyse the provision of an enabling
environment which will enhance private sector growth and
competitiveness’ so that ‘while pursuing their
corporate interests, businesses will respond to incentives
created through the PSDS, not only to meet their
25. profit goals, but also to help Kenya reduce poverty and enjoy a
higher economic growth rate’ (Ministry of
Trade and Industry, 2006). The two strategic objectives of the
PSDS are to create a conducive business
environment for private sector growth by alleviating major
constraints, and to enhance the growth and
competitiveness of the private sector, especially Micro, Small
and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The PSDS
was designed to help address some of the main constraints faced
by the formal and informal sectors including
corruption, poor infrastructure, high and numerous taxes and tax
administration, crime and insecurity, and
access to finance, as well as limited access to markets, credit
and skilled labour specifically for MSMEs
(Ministry of Trade and Industry, 2006). As typically smaller
enterprises, SEs stand to benefit from MSME
support.

26. 2.2 Agriculture sector overview
Agriculture contributes 51% of Kenya’s Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) and accounts for 60% of the total
employment (Ministry of Finance, 2011). Over 80% of Kenya’s
population lives in rural areas and is
dependent on agriculture (Government of Kenya (GOK), 2010).
Kenya’s agricultural sector is dualistic in nature, predominantly
consisting of small-scale farmers and with
relatively few large-scale farmers. Subsistence farmers,
pastoralists and small-scale commercial farmers
represent the small-scale farmer group, which collectively
contributes 75% of the agricultural output and
approximately 70% of the marketed agricultural produce
(Agricultural Sector Coordination Unit, 2012).
Women make up 75% of small-scale farmers, and in rural areas
two-thirds of women are involved in
subsistence farming (Alila and Atieno, 2006).
Despite its importance, agriculture registered a declining trend
all through the 1980s and up until 2004, when
growth picked up. This period of decline coincided with
Structural Adjustment in the 1980s (Rono, 2002)
and the National Agricultural Extension Policy (NAEP) between
2001 and 2004. These policies saw
27. government spending cuts and the decline of agricultural
service institutions related to production, processing
and marketing. It had been anticipated that the private sector
would step in to fill the void resulting from the
cessation of government support but such was not the case, to
the detriment of agricultural production
(Nyangito, 2003; Heidhues and Obare, 2011; and Muyanga and
Jayne, 2006).
In response to these challenges, the Strategy for Revitalizing
Agriculture (SRA) was launched in 2004. SRA
recognised the importance of agricultural extension provision to
fight poverty and highlighted this area as
needing immediate intervention. Since then, average
agricultural growth has increased by 5.2%, cutting food
security and poverty by 12% and 10% respectively (GOK,
2010). SRA’s approach is promoted through
Vision 2030.
Although growth in the agricultural sector has picked up, almost
50% of Kenyans fall below the food poverty
line; 10% of children under five are underweight, with higher
incidences of this being in rural areas where
livelihoods are dependent on agriculture, as indicated earlier.
Such food insecurity and nutrition issues are
some of the poverty indicators that can be addressed by further
28. developments in the agricultural sector
(Ministry of Agriculture, 2011).
2.3 Health sector overview
Although the state of health care in Kenya is improving, many
challenges still remain. Life expectancy at
birth in Kenya is 58 and 61 for men and women, respectively,
and under-five mortality is 7.3% (WHO,
2009). Total health expenditure per capita is $77, of which
$30.5 is government expenditure (WHO, 2011).
The sector is characterised by inadequate funding, an
underdeveloped health services infrastructure, a
shortage of human resources and essential medical supplies and
equipment, and limited administrative and
management capacity – all of which restricts health service
delivery and coverage. There is also a high
prevalence of communicable disease, which places a major
burden on the health system as well as the
economy at large. HIV incidence is currently approximately
6.3% with a high prevalence of tuberculosis
(TB) infection as well as a co-infection rate of 45% for TB and
HIV (Kenya Demographic and Health
Survey, 2008-09).
29. Ensuring access to and utilisation of health services is vital to
improving health outcomes in Kenya.
Although use of health services is increasing, access to quality
health care is limited. Significant divides exist
in health-care access and quality between rural and urban
communities as well as between the rich and the
poor. Central Province and Nairobi have the highest
concentration of health-care facilities and the best
quality of care (Allianz, 2013), but in these areas the gap in
quality and access to health care between income
groups is large.
ODI Report 5
A case study of health and agriculture social enterprises in
Kenya 5
State provision of health services is significant, but widespread
gaps in the system exist and are filled in part
by a range of private providers including faith-based
organisations (FBOs1), NGOs, and for-profit entities.
Private provision of health care in Kenya represents a
substantial proportion of health services with the
private sector owning and operating almost half of all health
facilities in the country (Ministry of Health,
30. 2007). Despite this, there is a lack of engagement between the
Ministry of Health, donors and technical
experts and the private health sector, which undermines the
potential to harness innovation and mitigate
market failures (Dimovska et al, 2009).
Given that half of health care is non-state provided, lack of
access to medical insurance is a constraint. The
National Health Insurance Fund is a statutory public corporation
established to facilitate the provision of
basic medical insurance services in Kenya. However, because it
functions through formal sector employee
pay deductions, it not only fails to cover much of the population
but also causes frustration amongst urban
formal sector employees who select quality private health care
over state provision and thus effectively pay
twice.
A further problem is the lack of trust in drugs, due to
ineffective procurement processes and lack of
regulation.
3 SE profiles
Please see tables 1 and 2 below for details of SEs interviewed.
Of the 16 SEs interviewed, 8 are agricultural
31. and 8 are working in the health sector. The sample size is too
small to provide statistically robust findings;
however, a summary of the nature of the SEs is provided here.
The majority of SEs have been in operation for less than 10
years. Of all the SEs featured in the study, the
oldest is an enterprise in the agricultural sector while the
youngest is a health SE. The majority of the health
enterprises featured in this study were founded before 2005.
A significant number of SEs interviewed were established
and/or run by non-Kenyan nationals. One support
organisation (with several expatriate and returned diaspora
staff) commented that they find difficulty in
accessing locally run SEs, as they are less exposed to western-
oriented, urban SE networks. This was not a
universally identified problem but may indicate communication
issues between different communities of
actors within the space.

Most of the SEs, in order to achieve a social objective, either
seek a long-term partial subsidy from a
government, donor or NGO source in order to sustain a business
that would not otherwise be viable; or they
purposely reduce financial surpluses by paying above-market
premiums or guaranteed prices to suppliers
(fair trade), paying above-market wage rates to employees, and
restraining business margins within fixed
limits. Some SEs are receiving subsidised products from public
agencies, driving down the cost of services
that would otherwise be expensive for the economically
disadvantaged communities.
One agriculture SE came close to the definition of sharing
financial surpluses with customers by including
them as co-owners of the enterprise to achieve a social
objective (cooperatives) because of its franchise
40. model. Two SEs did not fall within the study definition; each
was a fully sustainable, for-profit business
deploying an innovative solution.
In terms of legal status, the majority of SEs interviewed during
this study are registered as private companies
limited by guarantee, two were non-profits or NGOs, and two
held dual legal status. The sectoral split was
almost equal across these categories.
ODI Report 8
A case study of health and agriculture social enterprises in
Kenya 8
Once an SE’s initial funding has been gathered, the primary
source of ongoing finance can be income
generated or external donor or grant funding or a mixture of the
two. None of the SEs interviewed in this
study were wholly dependent on external financing avenues. In
the health sector, 50% of SEs interviewed
were almost exclusively financed through their own revenues.
In the agricultural sector, the balance lies more
towards a mixed source of funding with both internal revenue
and external donor support playing major
41. roles. A mixture of finance sources suggests that while these
SEs are not totally dependent on external
funding, they are not yet fully financially sustainable either.
The study sought to establish where each SE was in terms of its
development. Figure 1 provides the
framework against which SE growth was assessed and
demonstrates the majority of SEs interviewed were
operational, growing, or had reached a break-even point of
financial sustainability2. The health sector had a
higher concentration of sustainable SEs than the agricultural
sector, but no clear trend emerged to explain
this.
