The Jamaica National Foundation (JN Foundation) and United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Social Enterprise Boost Initiative (SEBI) is specifically designed to create an enabling business environment for social enterprises in Jamaica, and to assist them in transitioning their grant- funded operations into viable, profit-making businesses, which can support their social missions.
The expanded SEBI targets at least ten (15) new social enterprises/entrepreneurs (SEs) while continuing to support an existing 6 social enterprises to improve their capacity to become efficiently run businesses. The SEs will undergo extensive training and business planning, while the pilot SEs will continue to implement their business plans. SEBIs will continue to increase public awareness of social entrepreneurship and promote the SEs in the program.
Through the Jamaica National Foundation and USAID’s Social Enterprise Boost Initiative (SEBI) it is hoped that more businesses operating within the social enterprise will become more profitable and self-sustainable.
At the end of the program Social Enterprise Jamaica will be set up to become the permanent provider of many of the current SEBI services.
