Abstract

This chapter explores the value creation activities of faith-based social enterprises (FBSE) in the economy. It discusses the challenges being faced by faith-based organizations (FBOs) from which FBSEs emerge. It makes the case for a coherent strategy in terms of a closer engagement of government with FBSEs that could scale up social impact and create systemic change. An account of FBSEs as a catalyst for value creation through economic and community development is presented using examples and case studies. It posits that a more precise engagement with this sector should be adopted to bring critical mass to society.
