During the first two editions of the Dela Programme, 204 selected experts from the global social innovation and corporate sector (including IKEA co-workers and colleagues from companies such as Microsoft) provided 24 leading social entrepreneurs support to develop their impact-scaling strategy, testing elements of it in practice. In addition to strategy work, the program has enabled financial support, networking and other opportunities for the participating social entrepreneurs selected from Ashoka’s network.
Meet the current participants of the Dela third edition and learn how, together, we share knowledge, perspectives and networks to support social entrepreneurs, and engage thought partners.
Accelerator programme
The systems change accelerator programme supports leading social entrepreneurs whose solutions redefine the underlying root cause of social problems.
This third edition of the Dela programme features an Accelerator for ten selected social entrepreneurs.
The Accelerator will focus on enhancing their system change strategies and identifying the organisational milestones required to attain them.
Engaging experts from the field
The Dela Programme directly involves selected experts from the global social innovation and corporate sector (including IKEA co-workers and colleagues from companies such as Microsoft) as advisors to support the social entrepreneurs with their strategic and implementational challenges. By adding new advice to their efforts, the accelerator aims to further increase the impact of the social entrepreneurs’ work.
At the same time, it offers them an opportunity to learn from the social entrepreneurs. With the support of Ashoka, IKEA co-workers and Thought Partners will present their new strategies to a group of hand-picked top-level executives who will challenge their assumptions and refine their strategies.
Adding Social Entrepreneurs
Through this partnership, we also source and select the latest, most innovative and leading social entrepreneurs who are working on the topic of livelihood and circularity. Circularity means looking beyond the current take-make-dispose model and focus on positive society-wide benefits. The social entrepreneurs inspire Thought Partners to work in new, smarter and sustainable ways.
The social entrepreneurs also get the option to join a Scoping and Experimentation phase. This will see them paired with ‘Experimenting Partners’ and experts to further test the feasibility, viability and desirability of their systems change ideas
