“…This project led to a product innovation geared towards the developed world -'PUR, a sachet of powder which, mixed into a 10-litre bucket of dirty water, would make it clean and safe to drink' (Dahan et al, 2010). Considering NGOmultinational relationships in developing countries, researchers found opportunities: 'By lowering costs, reaching new groups of customers, streamlining distribution and -more broadly -by filling institutional voids through new product or service offerings, these collaborative initiatives provide bundles of social and economic value that may be very difficult to disaggregate' (Dahan et al, 2010).…”

“…New products targeted for developing markets are often distributed as a bundle with an array of complementary services -such as technical assistance, service and financing -that are critical to the success of the venture. Providing this product/service bundle on the ground can be a shared responsibility between the firms and NGOs´ (Dahan et al, 2010). In emergency and crisis response, organizations combine their services to effectively address threats (van Opdorp, 2005) 8 .…”

The sustainable development agenda is placing increasing expectations on business and crosssector partnerships. One of the rising propositions is that companies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can co-create inclusive business ventures that are simultaneously both profitable and poverty reducing. A considerable number of studies have found that NGOs can bring valuable knowledge, capabilities, contacts, and legitimacy to these initiatives. This paper deepens the discussion from what NGOs can contribute to how and to what extent. Based on

This study seeks to examine the prosocial motives of solar energy entrepreneurs as they generate energy to combat energy poverty in South Africa. Using a qualitative research method, data, in words of survey participants, were collected from social purpose and profitable solar energy businesses using a semi‐structured interviews technique. These represent the reality of the interviewed Social Entrepreneurs because their societal world deals mainly with socially constructed issues. A pre‐developed “codebook” forms the basis to build categories of social issues and to consequently amalgamate codes into umbrella themes that enable researchers carry out structured and systematic contextual analysis. Motivated by innate feelings of compassion, empathy and extrinsic concerns for the environment, solar entrepreneurs embark on social venturing to collaborate with municipalities to deliver public services, to the group of vulnerable energy poor South Africans gain access to public benefits, like access to clean energy, which are frequently out of reach of township as well as slum dwellers operating mainly in the informal sector. This study contributes to our understanding of how solar energy entrepreneurs operate and adapt to the complexity of public energy service delivery venture in South Africa.
