THE PROBLEM: “LANGUISHING IN SILOS”
Social entrepreneurs achieve great change—but their social innovations often become fragmented and stuck in local communities
Diffusion is slow, and investment capital has trouble finding its way to successes; innovation often dies on the vine, or fails to replicate
© 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 46
Increased innovation finding more resources—knowledge, talent, financial—increases sustainability and growth for all

ACCELERATE INNOVATION AND INCREASE MARKET-MAKING
Linking entrepreneurs to others catalyzes more knowledge and innovation and accelerates the rate of change
Linking new and faster innovation to other networks--citizen sector organizations, corporations and funders—strengthens the “community of practice”– and enables new markets to form

Challenges
80% of Uganda’s people survive on less than $2 a day, most live in rural areas and are fully dependant on agriculture for their livelihood
Majority is cut off from education programs that would enable them improve their farming practices for diversity, increased productivity and, ultimately, improved livelihoods
Wealth of unique and indigenous information that could benefit thousands of farmers across the country and beyond is tied up in small villages that are scattered all over the country
Farmers often lack direct access to markets that pay them a fair price for their produce
Sale of produce by farmers is often done through middlemen who exploit them by offering in rural places prices much lower than the going market rate for the same products in urban areas
© 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 52
The Solution
Vincent Bagire established a network of farmers’ groups and a mechanism for knowledge transfer between them to boost the yields from their farms and ultimately to address persistent poverty in rural areas of Uganda
Uses variety of ICT tools such as a website, blog post, SMS, printed how-to guides and monthly knowledge sharing meetings, exchange visits between farmers groups and an annual knowledge fair to enable farmers from different parts of the country to share knowledge and best case practices
Farmers from different cultures and parts of the country are learning and sharing indigenous agricultural practices as new ways to diversify and improve their yields
With over 30 ethnic groups in Uganda, each with its own indigenous farming methods, Vincent’s model grows and spreads nationally

Omar Rodríguez, EnvironmentAshoka Fellow, Costa Rica, 2007-Present
Omar has achieved demonstrable success in one region of Costa Rica and is spreading his approach through ten different Latin American countries, as well as the rest of Costa Rica
Omar identified local schoolteachers as a means to educate the community and promote practices, both on land and in the sea, to protect the ocean’s marine life and coral reefs. He translated the complicated technical description of the problems into practical, common sense explanations that he explained to primary school teachers in coastal towns. The teachers incorporated this material into their curriculums and began to incorporate reading about the sea into their daily classes, use seashells in math class, and introduce class projects about the sea. As teachers became more committed and children learned more, they gradually became important new actors in their communities, promoting healthier practices and opening new dialogues with their families and local fishermen. Omar holds festivals in the communities to celebrate the best student projects and teaching techniques, which broadens and deepens the communities’ recognition and understanding of the issue and has helped spread his ideas to neighboring communities.
Government officials noticed the groundswell of local support and began sponsoring these innovative school and community programs more substantially. In response, enthusiasm has grown and communities have begun to clean their beaches, implement more sanitary practices to reduce seawater contamination respect fishing regulations, and mitigate the harvest of undersized clams. Eventually, many ecosystems in the Gulf of Nicoya began to show signs of improvement.
By converting the local community members and fishermen from substantial polluters to protectors of the environment, Omar has proven that community involvement is a critical component in reversing marine life degradation. Furthermore, Omar has planted the seeds to spread this approach to ten countries in Latin America.

Antonieta Castro Abaj, Human RightsAshoka Fellow, Guatemala, 2004-Present
Antonieta Castro Abaj helps marginalized, indigenous Guatemalan women become knowledgeable civic participants who are willing to defend their otherwise neglected human rights and even pursue leadership positions.
Recognizing that her model is relevant throughout Central America and indigenous regions of southern Mexico, but that she and her small staff cannot alone reach much beyond the current state of 28 groups, Antonieta intends the current participants to be the multipliers. Before spreading to new communities, however, she is focusing on the growth potential of the existing groups to become effective multipliers.
Antonieta’s has been part of regional networks of Central American women’s groups and has begun disseminating her concepts and techniques. She is pulling together her approach to serve as a comprehensive model that she wishes to spread not only within Guatemala but to indigenous women far beyond.

Purpose – these are members inherently vested in their mission. Their mission’s outcome can be dramatically amplified by collaborating with fellow experts in the field – something that they largely cannot do today within their own organization, let alone across like-minded organizations and other communities.

Reputation – the entire community of members are practitioners and subject matter experts, rather than a primary contributor and a passive audience of consumers. This is also the first ongoing mechanism for these experts to confer, as they’re geographically isolated and have minimal opportunities for collaboration.

Why Now? Extensive path-breaking experience and unmatched knowledge base; relationships with social entrepreneurs and practitioners—and their networks
Upfront investment in knowledge aggregation and infrastructure building among multiple successful, ongoing social entrepreneurial initiatives—core seed upon which to build the “network of communities”
Others have envisioned such a knowledge resource before, but critical mass was not in place, and markets were not formed—Ashoka and FHI can now start the ball rolling. But we can’t do it alone
There is nothing else like this available today. The world is ready
Rapid innovation in the developing world connecting solutions with people

Citi: In the "Banking for Social Change" competition, Citi was primarily interested in finding 1-2 investable innovations that they could take to market within in India in 18 months, but they were also focused on leveraging the social marketing activities and media hits spurred through the competition. Ultimately, they found over 120 potential investees they are now evaluating.Nike: Over two separate competitions, Nike has used the competition model to source and connect a community of sport for change innovators, while also using the competitions to test market entry strategies in specific cities. The results have been new partnerships and product offerings in emerging markets, allowing Nike to expand its geographic reach and build trust with local communities.Global Water Challenge: Focusing their competition on water and sanitation issues, the Global Water Challenge used the competition primarily as a sourcing and vetting mechanism to more efficiently identify a pool of potential investments; they were then able to mobilize over $6 million in investments from partners like Coca-Cola and the Rwanda Development Bank to invest in multiple entrants from their competition.
