How to build a social innovation ecosystem?

This ecosystem provides the structures, processes, and resources needed to develop and implement innovative, practical, and sustainable solutions.
Benefit: SIEB program increases capacity for social innovation, enhances ability of SIEBs to lead and manage social innovation projects, and makes a positive impact on the lives of people in Ethiopia.
