Social Entrepreneurship and Impact Investing
Assessing the drivers, processes, and outcomes of social entrepreneurship, social innovation, and impact investing in the fight against wicked societal problems such as inequality, disaster, climate change, to ageing and health crises, requires a deep connection between theory, practice and policy. CSPSE’s work on the interventions employed by social enterprises and innovators, impact investors, community leaders, as well as government and businesses harness multiple types of data, measurements and perspectives to understand micro, meso and macro level patterns of social change. Our aim is to better understand the role of citizens, communities, government and businesses and how their activities improve lives, ecology, and institutions.
