Description
Description
The Innovation for Social Impact Partnership (ISIP) is implementing a three-year program that will holistically tackle capacity building, technical support, and policy reforms that will benefit the social enterprise ecosystem in the Philippines. ISIP will provide technical support to a selected group of high potential social enterprises to enable them to grow to a scale of operations and demonstrate a sufficient degree of operational success to attract a higher value of investment from global and local impact investors. Social enterprises supported by ISIP would be those that have demonstrated proof of concept and have a theory of change with a plan for growth and increased impact. They would be ready to validate their blueprint, refine their business model, and enhance the conditions through which they can scale up. ISIP will also lend support to higher education institutions in ensuring social impact in technopreneurship teaching to lead to the pipeline development of sustainable social enterprises. As a cross-cutting function, ISIP will also participate in the policy reform process to contribute to fostering an enabling environment for local social enterprises to thrive.
Expected Impact

Social Enterprises (SEs), including Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and ecosystem beneficiaries, have increased capability and knowledge to scale their outputs and contributions to sustainable development. ISIP contributes to the creation of a sustainable stream of social enterprises equipped to access external financing, thereby sustaining and scaling their impact according to their alignment to the Sustainable Development Goals.
