Youth Business International (YBI) recently concluded a two-year COVID-19 recovery programme in South Korea focussed on social entrepreneurs and SMEs, supported by Google.org. The program delivered in-depth training and support with a focus on underserved groups in Korea, including women and refugee social entrepreneurs, to help them build skills, confidence, and adaptability.

The programme evaluation provided learnings on how targeted support for social entrepreneurs can be delivered at scale in five key areas:

1. The power of community
2. Innovative and inclusive curriculum and programme development
3. Building a supportive ecosystem
4. Access to funding and markets
5. Leveraging technology for wider reach and reducing barriers
