A social enterprise will have to fit the local aspirations and needs, scalability will work only if the the social enterprise prima facie fits the first premise and is adaptable enough.

I thank you for your addition. I remember this case of Morocco: Microcredits started with Grameen Bank in Bangladesh (1976). In Morocco, with Zakoura Association (1995) it was launched by an Association and not by a bank. The minimum amount Mohammed Yunus started with is 27$. Yet, now that this strategy is shifted to banks in Morocco where the minimum microcredit is 3000 MAD = almost 300$; which is still not accessible to poor in Morocco.

wareness of the importance of corporate social responsibility in the Middle East and North Africa is growing rapidly.

• Progress and development of corporate social responsibility in the Middle East is no longer limited to companies (and their employees) alone. Governments and nonprofit organizations have followed suit and taken many steps in this direction over the years.

• The current practices of corporate social responsibility (CSR) are still deeply rooted in the minds of the region as a form of philanthropy and are not in line with the actual needs of the region, and thus lack much of what is desired on the ground and its impact on society.

• In order to achieve real sustainability in the future through the implementation of CSR initiatives, governments in the region together need to develop the regulatory framework for the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and involve all business owners. Companies need to move from purely philanthropic activities to sustainable programs that address challenges Future Development.
