Stronger Together? Government Collaboration with Social Enterprises in India
Wednesday, April 13, 2016
Session Description
In a perfect public-private partnership, each partner enables and leverages the other’s unique strengths. But many view government as inefficient and a source of unnecessary bureaucracy. At the same time, governments remain largely unaware of results achieved by social enterprises and the solutions they deliver to the poor. Through an in-depth, live examination of cases of collaboration between governments and social enterprises, this session will highlight the mutual benefits of collaboration, and share lessons learned in overcoming challenges in the process of establishing a partnership.
