Social, economic and environmental challenges The role of entrepreneurship in addressing these challenges Social entrepreneurship to alleviate poverty while engendering inclusive growth Youth entrepreneurship to address global youth unemployment Women entrepreneurship to promote gender equality and enhance women’s economic empowerment Green entrepreneurship to support environmental sustainability, using efficient products, processes and practices

Selected policy measures on entrepreneurship for SDGs (1/2) Integrate SDGs into national entrepreneurship strategies Build enabling regulatory frameworks for green and social entrepreneurs Promote women’s economic empowerment and equal rights Implement targeted public procurement measures for disadvantaged groups Integrate green and social entrepreneurship into educational systems and curricula

Selected policy measures on entrepreneurship for SDGs (2/2) Encourage innovative financing arrangements for social and green entrepreneurs Encourage crowd-funding, peer-to-peer lending and digital financing for women and youth entrepreneurs Establish accelerators and incubators that provide specialized business support to social and green entrepreneurs Promote inclusive entrepreneurship networks, among and for women and youth Promote entrepreneurship mentoring, with a focus on women and youth

Integrate SDGs into national entrepreneurship strategies Ethiopia’s Growth and Transformational Plan Ethiopia’s Growth and Transformational Plan (2016-2020) identifies the micro and small and medium-sized enterprises (MSME) sector as a critical element in increasing women’s income through job creation and addresses economic empowerment of women and youth. At the same time, the National Action Plan for Gender aims to eliminate gender and cultural biases that hinder women from engaging in economic activities.

Viet Nam’s Enterprise Law Enabling regulatory frameworks for green and social entrepreneurs Viet Nam’s Enterprise Law In 2014, Viet Nam amended its Enterprise law to recognize social enterprises. These entities have preferential treatment in receiving licenses and certificates and can obtain funding, sponsorship and investment from Viet Nam as well as from international supporters.

Promote women’s economic empowerment and equal rights According to Women’s Entrepreneurial Venture Scope (WE Venture Scope), Chile has the most conducive business climate for women entrepreneurs in Latin America and the Caribbean. Its low corporate taxes, highly supportive business climate, a simplified tax regime that facilitates startups, and adequate provision of social services for female entrepreneurs, makes it an ideal environment for women entrepreneurs.

Implement targeted public procurement measures for disadvantaged groups As part of its Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BEE) strategy, South Africa has implemented policies aimed at integrating previously disadvantaged communities (PDCs) into the mainstream economy, including black, women as well as persons with disabilities. As part of the strategy and the Preferential Procurement Act, South Africa provides preferential allocation of contracts to PDCs.

Integrate green and social entrepreneurship into educational systems and curricula Thailand’s newly drafted Social Enterprise Promotion Act has a provision on providing opportunities for capacity building for social enterprises and the integration of social entrepreneurship in the education system. Encourage innovative financing arrangements for social and green entrepreneurs Venture Capital Trust Fund (VCTF) has leveraged funding to provide low-cost financing to businesses, including SMEs as well as social enterprises that address pressing social issues such as unemployment, access to health and education. In 2011, VCTF established the Ghana Angel Investment Network (GAIN) which invests in early-stage growth-oriented enterprises.

Encourage crowd-funding, peer-to-peer lending and digital financing for women and youth entrepreneurs Tanzania’s mobile savings account M-Pawa is a mobile savings account that allows users to save money through their mobile phone, earn interest from their savings and eventually obtain a microloan when needed. Establish accelerators and incubators that provide specialized business support to social and green entrepreneurs Egypt’s green innovation hub Icecairo is a green innovation hub that equips young people with green skills and business support to enable them to pursue green entrepreneurship and develop low- cost solutions that will address Egypt’s environmental challenges.

Promote inclusive entrepreneurship networks, among and for women and youth Bangladesh Women’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BWCCI) is the first chamber of commerce in the country that works exclusively on women’s economic and social empowerment. Established in 2001, the organization encourages and strengthens women entrepreneurs’ participation in the private sector through promoting a women-friendly business environment. Promote entrepreneurship mentoring, with a focus on women and youth Brazil’s youth-led organization Engajamundo fosters interactions between Brazilian youth and international conferences related to the environment, social development and gender. It promotes the engagement of youth in negotiations and solutions for sustainability.
