IBC Scotland and Challenges World Wide (CWW) Collaboration
As you may know IBC Scotland has adopted Challenges World Wide as their social enterprise of choice. This decision was made not only on the basis of CWW being a very worthwhile cause but also in view of the potential to benefit both CWW and IBC Scotland. These links include real professional development opportunities for members which allow them to head up or be a substantial contributor to some major projects on a global basis.
CWW offers obvious potential for IBC members to increase their value and profile from the experience they would gain from the CWW Projects.
Examples of the Current Projects Under Way Include:
Example 1
Linking up 20,000 villages in India with Internet Capability
Example 2
Analysis of foreign investment conditions in India for the establishment of a venture philanthropy platform to enable high growth social enterprises to access soft equity and debt facilities from wealthy philanthropists.
Example 3
Strategic review and business planning processes to prepare a leading social enterprise for external investment to establish a standalone commercial company to support over 100,000 families across 70 villages in Tanzania.
Example 4
Develop infrastructure for the Kenya Social Investment Exchange (KSIX) to deliver a trusted, high quality, source of social projects for investment that offer both social and financial return. This will lower aid dependency and increase both foreign and local investment.
Currently CWW are looking to support the Scotland Malawi Business Group to support local business and train and develop the local consultancy industry. The objectives of this project are to build indigenous consulting capacity and expertise in Malawi while providing timely, practical and meaningful advice and guidance to the micro small and medium enterprise sector in Malawi. The pilot was funded from the Scottish Government’s International Development Fund, as will the substantive 2/3 year project.
