GEW 2021: how we measure the development and impact of social entrepreneurship

Global Entrepreneurship Week North Macedonia ran from 8 to 14 November 2021, hosted by Startup Macedonia, in online, hybrid and in-person formats. On 12 November the Social Entrepreneurship Observatory held an online panel on Zoom, from 12:30 to 14:00: ‘How we measure the development and impact of social entrepreneurship. Tools, practice, future.’

The discussion covered three topics:

1. the Social Entrepreneurship Index, which measures the conditions a country offers social enterprises;
2. tools for measuring the impact of social enterprises;
3. the practice of IN VIVO, a social enterprise from North Macedonia.

Speakers:

• Stefan Chichevaliev, Executive Director, Social Entrepreneurship Observatory
• Aleksandra Iloska, researcher, Association Public

It was the Observatory’s second event in Global Entrepreneurship Week, after The Rise of Social Entrepreneurship in North Macedonia in 2020. Startup Macedonia and the national coordinator of Global Entrepreneurship Week North Macedonia awarded the Observatory a certificate of appreciation for its contribution.
