Catalyzing Social Entrepreneurship in North Africa: Insights from the AfDB Partnership Forum

The AfDB Partnership Forum in April 2012 focused on social entrepreneurship in North Africa, highlighting its potential to address vital societal issues through innovative solutions. Emphasizing the balance between economic viability and social objectives, discussions centered on transformational change to tackle poverty and marginalization, especially among youth. The Souk At-tanmia initiative in Tunisia emerged as a key tool for fostering social enterprises and addressing socio-economic challenges following the revolution, aiming to promote equitable growth, support young entrepreneurs, and enhance cooperation between the private sector and civil society.
