New · launching under the Strategic PlanState of Social Enterprise in Pakistan
An annual report on social enterprise in Pakistan, with an Urdu summary. The first edition is in preparation.
There is no recent count of Pakistan’s social enterprises: where they are, who runs them, or what holds them back. The State of Social Enterprise in Pakistan is SIA’s answer: an annual report, with a summary in Urdu, so that founders, policymakers, funders and researchers can work from the same facts.
The first edition is in preparation. It will draw on SIA’s programme data, the SENPak network and partners across the country. CONFIRM: publication date of the first edition.
