Policy and Advocacy
We work to influence policy and advocate for changes that benefit our members and the wider community. This may involve lobbying governments, conducting research, and raising awareness of important issues.
Leveraging the academic excellence of Tangaza University's Institute of Social Transformation (IST), Social Enterprise Kenya forges a powerful synergy. This strategic partnership blends the rigor of academic research with the invaluable insights gleaned from practical experience on the ground. Through this collaboration, Social Enterprise Kenya's initiatives are not only strengthened by a foundation of robust data and theoretical frameworks, but also gain enhanced credibility and effectiveness in addressing real-world challenges. IST's scholars and researchers contribute their expertise in areas like social impact measurement, social innovation, and sustainable development, while Social Enterprise Kenya provides a platform for applying these theories in real-world projects, creating a continuous feedback loop that benefits both institutions and, ultimately, the communities they serve.
Social Enterprise Kenya recognizes that equitable access to critical resources isn't just a social good, it's the very bedrock upon which a thriving society is built. These resources – from education and healthcare to food security and safe housing – are the essential building blocks that empower individuals and communities to reach their full potential. By prioritizing access and going beyond simply providing services, SEK actively dismantles the barriers that prevent people from reaching their full potential. They bridge the gap between those who have the resources to flourish and those who are currently locked out, working towards a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Social Enterprise Kenya offers practitioner-led training, providing firsthand guidance from successful social entrepreneurs. Collaborating with Tangaza University's IST adds academic depth to practical insights. Moreover, involvement in the Network of Africa Social Entrepreneurs facilitates cross-border collaboration, driving sustainable social change regionally. With SEK, you join a community committed to practical, research-based strategies for impactful social entrepreneurship.
