Towards Microfinance at the Service of Health International Platform Towards microfi nance at the service of health In the Koudougou region of Burkina Faso, microcredit and the highly nutritious alga spirulina have been combined in order to improve the health and income of rural Burkinabe people. The adaptation of a classic marketing methodology and on-site immersion with the local actors were the key to the success of the pilot project. The current objective is to optimise this model so that it can become sustainable and be replicated, taking into account diff erent contexts.

  • Annual Report 2018/2019 3
    ANNUAL REPORT 2018/2019 3 A WORD FROM OUR CHAIRMAN Two years since its creation, the main challenge for an endeavor such as The Comgest Foundation is generally to scale up its initiatives while ensuring its actions remain relevant and have real impact. This is why, from the very start of the Comgest Foundation, we had the idea of relying on ambassadors. Mostly current or former Comgest employees, ambassadors are and have been engaged alongside various philanthropic projects for many years or even decades. They have generally been on the ground gaining the intimate trust that is necessary to commit and financially support these projects over several years. Our ambassadors report frequently to the Board of the Foundation whose members challenge them to ensure the various initiatives remain on the right track. Although each new project is a prototype with its own specific objectives, The Board can capitalize on the experience of its ambassadors and source inspiration for other schemes. “Leverage other people’s brains” is advice that was professed by one of the founders of Comgest thirty years ago in the field of investment. It is now also implemented by The Comgest Foundation, enabling us to select 20 projects since September 2017, of which 9 are pluriannual. Having greater impact also requires better focus. This is why The Comgest Foundation is concentrating on four key areas: economic empowerment, health and disability, education and environment. The result is more than the sum of the parts as it has enabled us to reach 6,300 beneficiaries. Extra-curricular pedagogical empowerment programmes for young people, book distribution to combat illiteracy in Cambodia, micro-finance in the Philippines - there are so many ways we can provide consistent and significant support to great projects that will change the life of so many.

What is the end result of all these 'Years' of this and that, each dedi- cated to a different theme? In reality, 2012 was notably the year of a crisis that turned into 'the' crisis, and which threatens to be long-lasting. ‘krisis’ in Greek also means 'discernment'. In these difficult times, we have endeavoured to use our own discernment to ensure that our Foundation is well managed. First, we have analysed the choices to be made. The fundamental choice is of carrying out all our activities in developing countries, where the greatest needs obviously still remain. We are also firmly convinced that when we work to improve - through access to water, sanitation, and sustainable agricul- ture practices - living conditions of the poorest populations in Africa, Asia and some Latin American countries, we combat, with the means at our dis- posal, immigration prompted by desperation, and oppose the relocation of French factories to other countries.

  • By: Leigh Mante and Saba Ahmed
    By: Leigh Mante and Saba Ahmed Rationale: In order to support the development and enhancement of SEWA's enterprise support system (ESS), a study was conducted to gather additional documentation and analyses of existing social enterprise incubators and accelerators across South Asian countries outside of India. This study builds upon SEWA’s Enterprise Support System Report and delves into key components of efficient and sustainable social enterprise support services. Objectives: ● To understand the various landscapes of social enterprises in South Asia ● To understand methods of support and evaluation by ESSs of social enterprises towards their respective communities Methodology: The Enterprise Support Systems evaluated were selected based on (1) its direct work with social enterprises, (2) its work with “bottom of pyramid” and/or predominantly female communities, and (3) clear evidence of positive social impact. For each selected ESS, information on program details, cost/revenue models, operation strategies, team structure, as well as context on the program country’s political economy, if applicable, was gathered. Data and information was gathered from organizational material available online such as annual reports, impact and evaluation statements, website information as well as secondary literature reports. Name of ESS Location Incubator/ Income Mission Accelerator Bracket BRAC Social Bangladesh Accelerator Lower BRAC is a non-governmental organization dedicated Enterprises Middle to eradicating poverty through social and financial Income empowerment of the poor. BRAC uses a community-based model to develop and scale enterprise programs and reinvests the revenue from these programs towards development resources and activities. Currently BRAC operates 16 social enterprises in Bangladesh and reinvests 50% of surplus revenue towards BRAC development activities.

We intercede in developing countries to enable the poorest families to develop a small economic venture by giving them access to loans and savings. Our directors and administrators, as well as most of our employees, come from the world of business and call upon efficient, durable methods that are indispensible to the success of development programmes. The Situation In the slums of developing countries, the poor have few opportunities to develop an economic venture. Excluded from the traditional banking system, they resort to loan sharks whose interest rates frequently exceed 20% per month. What’s more, often with little education, the poor cannot find employment in the formal sector and they lack self-confidence. However, they are all driven by a profound determination to take action in order to improve their daily lives.
