Tbli Presentation

$2.3 trillion has been spent over 5 decades on solutions for the poor, but these solutions often do not reach the intended beneficiaries due to a lack of feedback and accountability. Traditional aid and government programs fail because there is no mechanism to ensure the needs of consumers or constituents are actually met. Social enterprises provide a blended value by balancing social/environmental returns with economic sustainability through earned income, addressing issues like lack of accountability. The document discusses initiatives that provide funding, training and support to early-stage social enterprises in South and East Asia, including programs supporting youth entrepreneurs and community development organizations.
