Social Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship

Abstract

The State traditionally addressed social problems through programs to combat poverty, strategies for redistributing benefits or regulations, and institutions that sought to balance the disparities. Given the inability of the State to address these problems, nonprofit organizations implemented programs and initiatives that provided social assistance to vulnerable populations and groups excluded from the development process. It was until 2000 that a common agenda emerged with the creation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which would eventually become the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These objectives include actors from all sectors of society. With the inclusion of any actor to address social issues, social innovation emerges to achieve these goals and offers a framework for its promotion from any sector of society. This chapter aims to present the alignment of the SDGs with social innovation through the construction of a post-2015 architecture, which includes the participation of various sectors of society.
