If the United Nations was fully funded why would we need the Arc or social enterprise?
United Nations is an intergovernmental organization whose goal is to promote international co-operation. As the question above indicates, if it were fully funded, it would still need social enterprise such as the ARC initiative. Because being fully funded does not mean it is capable of anything. UN is definitely one of the most influential organizations around the world, but it cannot be able to help everyone in every country. Even if it could help everyone, it were impossible to run such a giant organization in good order. Therefore, social enterprises seem more efficient and approachable than UN in terms of helping people with daily problems.
UN mainly focuses on solving problems between nations and nations, so it cannot cover everyone’s needs. By contrast, a social enterprise’s power may be limited and small, but it is more possible for them to take responsibilities of helping every single person .For example, the ARC initiative, which consists of students in the Sauder School of Business, can help the locals in Africa learn business skills and knowledge .It might be seemingly less useful compared with those organizations which help solve hunger and poverty, but it will increase awareness of business among people in developing countries. Thus, social enterprise is crucial for UN in order to transform the global society to a better one.
