As the laboratory of our Social Enterprise Initiative, WDI formed the Alianza ONG in Latin America & the Caribbean, a coalition of civil society organizations that are adopting commercial approaches to self-sustainability. These strategies can include membership fees, fee for services, marketing products, and the rental of unused equipment or real estate.
The goal of the Alianza ONG is to create networking opportunities and opportunities for NGOs to share their social enterprise experiences and to disseminate best practice in the following areas:
Application of business tools to solve social problems
Strategies for generating income and reduce donor dependence
Partnerships between ONGs, corporations and governments
Development of the third sector through government policy
Members of the Alianza ONG contribute their experiences and perspectives in WDI publications, attend conferences, and receive technical assistance from WDI staff and social enterprise experts.
