The main purpose of the study was to assess the supporting environment for social
entrepreneurship in Tanzania. Specifically, the study aimed at evaluating the current key
stakeholders’ conceptualisation and recognition of Social Entrepreneurship concept and whether
in Tanzania there is a supportive environment for Social Entrepreneurship. This was an
exploratory study and was conducted qualitatively. The approach used was a combination of
secondary data and in-depth interviews with policy makers and policy advisers. Findings revealed
that most stakeholders are not aware of the concept of Social Entrepreneurship. The objectives of
their organizations showed that they had some elements of Social Entrepreneurship, but this
concept was not encompassed in their mission statements. Social entrepreneurship matters were
thus not well integrated in their policy missions although the nature of organizational activities
revealed some elements in them. The study concluded that social entrepreneurship in Tanzania
has been practiced by several institutions especially non-governmental organisations and that
there is a need to document and institutionalizes the policies and regulations that guide the
operationalization of the social entrepreneurship concept. Recommendations and areas for further
research are also discussed. |
