The most significant differentiating factor between the UN and social entrepreneurship is politics. Simply put, there is too much bureaucratic red tape associated with the UN for them to carryout their goals. Furthermore, a number of countries in the UN have conflicting interests that also hinder their ability to provide effective aid to countries in need, regardless of funding. Both of these factors ultimately lead to a lack of direction and unification in the actions taken by the UN, rendering many of their efforts futile. As a result of this lack of direction, the UN tends to establish international diplomacy instead of directly creating tangible solutions to the problems faced by impoverished nations. On the other hand, social enterprise and the ARC initiative look to create innovation and opportunities for developing countries; social entrepreneurship is not limited to the regulations and restrictions faced by the UN. In a world where the UN is fully funded, social enterprise would still be unique in the sense that it provides impoverished nations with the means to lift them selves out of poverty, and does not “throw money” at their issues. Specifically, the “ARC initiative” and other social enterprises such as micro-finance are able to directly impact the economy of impoverished nations. By creating sustainable solutions, such initiatives contribute to stimulating an entire economy for generations to come. It would be naïve to undermine the importance and impact of the UN, but I still believe that social enterprise creates a change that is unparalleled.
