Have a say…
Would you like to have your say on social entrepreneurship and investment?
The 2019 Social Enterprise World Forum, to be hosted in Ethiopia on October 23-25 next year could be your platform.
SEWF is the leading forum for international exchange and collaboration in social entrepreneurship and social investment and has been hosted on six continents.
However, 2019 is the first time it will be hosted in a developing country.
And, as the forum enters its second decade, hosting it in Ethiopia provides a unique opportunity to create a truly global social enterprise movement that can share experience, build networks and deliver solutions for a more inclusive and sustainable future for all.

Good Governance Mentor(s)
About the Role
Helping community organisations be their best
Good Governance helps to create strong, cohesive and more resilient communities by boosting good governance practices in community organisations.
The initiative matches trained volunteers skilled in governance with community organisations. These volunteers act as mentors over 12 months, working with the entire committee or board to empower the organisation to develop policies, processes and the culture that facilitate good governance. Through this direct partnership, mentors can support organisations with the individualised assistance they need to overcome their unique challenges and reach their specific goals.
Mentors may support organisations to develop good governance practices in areas such as:
- identifying and minimising risk
- navigating complex reporting and compliance requirements
- ensuring the efficient use of resources
- evaluating whether or not the group is succeeding
- reducing the social cost of unsustainable organisations
- building organisational capacity
- creating strong, cohesive and resilient communities.
How you can make a difference through Good Governance
By sharing your expertise and becoming a mentor, you have an opportunity to help contribute to local organisations, shape your community, and enhance your own professional skills. Full training and support is provided for all mentors, and there is also a Community of Practice available for mentors to further develop their networks and professional learning.
