African social enterprises and NGOs play a crucial role in addressing various socio-economic and environmental challenges across Africa. While this is widely acknowledged, understanding how they navigate their resource-constrained settings to address sustainable development challenges remains limited. 

 These impact-focused organizations often face constraints related to resources, hindering their ability to achieve sustainable impact at scale.

 By understanding, attracting, and effectively managing resources, social enterprises can unlock new opportunities for growth, innovation, and positive change, thereby playing a pivotal role in catalyzing the sustainable development of Africa.
