Global Challenges Research Fund 19/20

The University of Northampton is driving its development related and GCRF research activity through its Institute for Social Innovation and Impact (ISII), and focusing this on one country, Vietnam. This decision is based upon the in-depth work that the University has already completed in Vietnam since 2014, in supporting capacity building and research into social enterprise, social innovation and social impact measurement (herein referred to as the social innovation ecosystem). It is also based upon the increasing desire for and support of social enterprise in Vietnam, in order that it meet its Sustainable Development Goals and achieve sustainable growth.
