Empowering Marginalized Communities through Social Entrepreneurship: A Pathway to Inclusive Economic Development

Social entrepreneurship has emerged as a transformative approach to addressing economic and social inequalities by empowering marginalized communities through innovative and sustainable business models. Unlike traditional business enterprises that prioritize profit maximization, social entrepreneurship integrates economic objectives with social impact, fostering inclusive development and long-term community resilience. This study explores the role of social entrepreneurship in promoting economic inclusion, particularly for marginalized groups such as low-income communities, women entrepreneurs, people with disabilities, and indigenous populations. Utilizing a qualitative research approach, this study examines case studies of social enterprises that have successfully uplifted marginalized communities through capacity-building, financial inclusion, and employment generation. Findings reveal that social entrepreneurs implement diverse strategies, including skills training programs, microfinance initiatives, and market access facilitation, to enable self-sufficiency and sustainable livelihoods. However, challenges such as limited funding, regulatory barriers, and scalability constraints hinder the growth of social enterprises. The study highlights the critical role of government policies, private sector collaborations, and social innovation ecosystems in overcoming these challenges and ensuring the sustainability of impact-driven enterprises. This research contributes to the broader discourse on inclusive economic development by emphasizing the need for a multi-stakeholder approach to fostering social entrepreneurship. It argues that empowering marginalized communities through entrepreneurial initiatives requires a combination of policy support, social investment, and digital transformation. The study provides policy recommendations for strengthening social enterprise ecosystems and enhancing their capacity to drive long-term socio-economic change.

Lessons from the Implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction from Latin America and the Caribbean

Abstract Over the past decade, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have made progress in implementing the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (SFDRR). Still, significant challenges remain in assessing its impact. The region’s high levels of inequality and vulnerability to disasters continue to hinder the effectiveness of disaster risk reduction (DRR) efforts. This article emphasizes the importance of a multi-stakeholder approach in SFDRR implementation, particularly the role of regional intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and networks that promote collaboration among civil society, the private sector, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, youth, and marginalized groups. Despite government efforts to integrate SFDRR into national policies, gaps in stakeholder engagement, resource allocation, and governance limit DRR effectiveness. The article underscores the value of co-production for involving communities to contribute to designing DRR strategies that address their specific needs. Co-produced strategies can bridge the gap between high-level policies and practical solutions by leveraging local knowledge and fostering partnerships. The review of regional networks’ efforts highlights the central role of IGOs in coordinating DRR strategies. These networks help create innovative solutions that empower communities. The article advocates for thinking about the subsequent phases post-SFDRR, drawing on the lessons from the regional networks and calls for more strategic collaborations and experimentation as a model to promote effective governance of DRR by engaging multiple stakeholders to design and pilot locally-driven solutions that can accelerate the implementation of the priorities of the SFDRR to reduce disaster risks in LAC through collaborations that build capacity through action and ensure meaningful engagement.

Balancing Tourism Development and Sustainability: A Multi-Stakeholder Approach in Tofino over 15 Years

The narrow conceptualization of capitalism is increasingly challenged as destinations recognize the need to integrate equity and resilience into tourism development. Increasingly, destinations have been using tourism to move away from extractive industries and there is no shortage of literature outlining the need for a more inclusive, multi-stakeholder approach to ensure that sustainability is at the forefront of tourism development considerations. Whether destinations are actually moving towards the more sustainable development of tourism is not always evident and rarely are studies of destinations undertaken over time. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to examine qualitative research spanning 15 years using a multi-stakeholder approach to understand impacts, issues, and solutions relating to tourism development in Tofino, Canada. Tofino has achieved notable advancements in financial, natural, and social capital but continues to face gaps in addressing other dimensions of the Community Capitals Framework (CCF). Insights from this research to focus on social, human, and built capital earlier on in tourism planning and development may help other destinations who partially or fully depend on tourism for their livelihood. This paper addresses real-world tourism development challenges and encompasses multiple stakeholder views on sustainable development, socio-political responsibilities, governance, leadership, destination management, policies, and other practices.

Redesigning the Bunaken National Park Collaborative Management Model to Actualize Sustainable Tourism Development

Bunaken National Park (BNP) was awarded the Global Winner and National Parks Category Winner in 2003 from the British Airways Tourism for Tomorrow Award for its success in implementing collaborative management (co-man). However, various recent studies actually show its ineffectiveness in managing BNP. The reasons are lack of quality conservation, the unfinished transformation of the profession of fishermen and farmers into the tourism industry, and the alienation of socio-cultural factors from the BNP management system. Using qualitative-descriptive research methods, this article aims to evaluate the implementation of the co-man model in BNP by analysing the role of actors (stakeholders) in order to actualize Sustainable Tourism Development (STD). The result is that actors have no significant role in implementing the co-man model due to the government’s dominance. This research also found goal disorientation in BNP management due to the ineffectiveness of the model. Its research questions are: how is the BNP co-man model effective in actualizing STD? What are the ideal roles of the actors and what basic prerequisites are needed for the collaboration model to operate effectively? This study urges the need for a multistakeholder approach by providing equal space for actors and placing STD as a "core business".

Navigating the ‘wild west’: governance challenges and solutions in (un)healthy esports sponsorship

ABSTRACT Esports sponsorship lacks an overarching governance framework, particularly regarding the involvement of unhealthy brands. Building on previous literature on sport governance, this study aims to identify the governance challenges presented by unhealthy brands in esports sponsorship and explore how esports sponsorship might best be governed. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with UK-based esports players (n = 11) and fans (n = 10), this study offers original insights into esports sponsorship governance, revealing a thin and ‘wild west’ governance landscape, characterised by a vulnerable financial structure, imbalanced power nexus and a lack of stakeholder representation. Findings highlight that despite concerns about the involvement of unhealthy brands, key stakeholders such as players and fans feel somewhat powerless to influence sponsorship decision-making due to the overreliance of esports on sponsorship revenue. In response, an integrated governance model comprising a multistakeholder approach and individual responsibilisation is proposed to address the challenges. Within such a model, individuals have responsibility for their own consumption choices, but this should be supported by education around healthy consumption of sponsor products and services. Another key feature of this proposed governance model is the representation of all key stakeholders within the sponsorship decision-making process. Consequently, policy makers are recommended to not bluntly remove or ban certain esports sponsorships but learn to trust and empower individuals to make responsible decisions, alongside introducing education initiatives to ensure that sufficient knowledge is provided for informed and guided choices.

Applying the right lessons from the negotiation and implementation of the UNTOC and the UNCAC to the implementation of the newly agreed UN ‘cybercrime’ treaty

ABSTRACT After two years of intense negotiations in a highly political process mandated to elaborate a comprehensive ‘International Convention on Countering the Use of Information and Communication Technologies', member states of the United Nations, in August 2024, agreed on a new United Nations Convention against Cybercrime [UNODC AHC website. 2024a. https://www.unodc.org/documents/Cybercrime/AdHocCommittee/Comments/RF_28_July_2021_-_E.pdf; UNODC AHC website. 2024b. https://documents.un.org/doc/undoc/gen/v24/055/06/pdf/v2405506.pdf]. The Ad Hoc Committee (AHC) mandated to carry out the negotiation process drew extensively from United Nations Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) and United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC), specifically in its approaches to criminalisation, international cooperation and law enforcement/procedural measures. Therefore, questions are raised as to what lessons from UNTOC and UNCAC implementation should be learned as member states begin the process of ratification and subsequently implementation, and as the AHC finalises its work in preparing the convention's conference of parties and implementation mechanisms – on review, accountability, transparency and multistakeholder approaches. The paper will explore the different perspectives from the history of UNTOC's negotiation and implementation that need to be considered as the convention is sent for formal adoption. First, it undertakes a focused literature review on the UNTOC and UNCAC and its travaux preparatoires of such provisions. The paper explains the background of the relevant negotiation decisions and the effects that it had on the convention’s scope and implementation. It explores the benefits and shortcomings of the related approaches taken in the cybercrime treaty. The paper concludes with lessons learned from the implementation of UNTOC and UNCAC.

Generative AI Ethics: a Comprehensive Safety and Regulation Framework

Implementation of a lisocabtagene maraleucel chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy outpatient monitoring program: Multicenter nursing/advanced practice provider perspectives

ObjectivesLisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel; Breyanzi), an autologous chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, has demonstrated efficacy and safety in relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma. Outpatient monitoring after liso-cel administration has shown lower health care resource utilization and cost and high patient satisfaction. However, outpatient monitoring programs require well-designed processes with collaborations from multiple stakeholders across several facilities. The study objective is to provide learnings and key considerations from nurses and advanced practice providers (APP) with experience setting up and managing liso-cel outpatient monitoring programs. Data sourceAuthor experience gathered from 3 institutions at 2 workshops. ResultsIn the reviewed programs, patients are discharged on the same day after liso-cel infusion and observation. They are required to remain within a short distance of the facility for ≥4 weeks with admission to treatment facilities upon experiencing adverse events (AE). Nurses/APPs report several key features of successful programs: flexibility to carry out essential roles/functions based on institution's resources and staff structure, a phased or hybrid (hospital/clinic) approach to program launch, a core team to run and guide the program, robust training for staff, options to tailor AE monitoring based on institution guidelines, and coordinated transitions between multiple stakeholders and facilities. ConclusionsNurses/APPs are critical contributors to liso-cel outpatient monitoring programs. Success in providing appropriate, complex individualized care in these programs can be achieved by using a multistakeholder approach with appropriate staff and patient/caregiver training and careful coordination across multiple functions and facilities. Implications for nursing practiceThe learnings and resources presented may provide insight to considerations around the development of a cell therapy outpatient monitoring program. However, the information provided here should be taken together with other relevant resources and guidelines and should be adapted to align with the institution's own guidelines.

The future of peritoneal dialysis.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD), long established as the leading form of home dialysis, has comparatively good 5-year outcomes and cost-utility analyses have consistently demonstrated benefits to both patients and payers. Future improvements should still be sought, such as the further development of promising technologies designed to limit PD-associated harm, but given the physical and anatomical constraints of PD, these are unlikely to be transformational through the dialysis process itself. Rather, future focus should be on interventions that are effective across the whole dialysis population, such as mitigating the rate of loss in residual kidney function, pharmacological interventions for symptoms of kidney failure and suppressing inflammation. The greatest future challenge for the modality is inequity of access. In Europe, variation in PD uptake is >10-fold across the continent, with several contributing factors: differing economic drivers, variation in the empowerment of patients, physician attitudes and bias, small centre size, lack of experience, a nursing staff crisis, poor organizational culture and a lack of motivation and educational opportunities. It is time for a collective effort to address this and recently EuroPD convened a policy forum to initiate a multistakeholder approach to the problem, which extends to home haemodialysis. Use of PD worldwide is also highly variable, for some of the same reasons listed above, but with the additional challenges of the high cost of PD fluid and the lack of universal healthcare coverage. In the future, PD could and should play an important part in providing equitable access to dialysis worldwide, but to achieve this-and for the sake of the planet-point-of-care dialysis fluid generation would be transformative.

Development of a core outcome set for recurrent acute and chronic pancreatitis: Results of a Delphi poll

Background/objectiveRecurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP) lack effective therapies. There is no consensus or guidance on which endpoints or outcome measures should be used in clinical trials. This study aimed to develop a core outcome set aligned with both patient and provider priorities for RAP and CP. Utilizing the Outcomes Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) framework, a multi-stakeholder approach was adopted to identify and prioritize outcome domains. MethodsA two-round Delphi poll was conducted among four stakeholder groups: adult patients, parents and pediatric patients, adult health care providers and pediatric health care providers. Steering committee consensus further refined the core outcome domains, categorizing them as mandatory, important but optional, or research agenda domains, with full consensus achieved. ResultsPain severity, ability to participate in social roles and activities, pancreatitis related hospitalization/ER visits and acute pancreatitis flare-ups were recommended as mandatory outcome domains for future clinical trials in RAP/CP. ConclusionsUsing the OMERACT framework, we developed a core outcome set for RAP and CP. Future research will focus on identifying validated measures for each domain, facilitating standardized assessments across clinical trials.
