Anekwe Rita Ifeoma & Nwatu ifeanyichukwu

Abstract:
Social enterprises play a crucial role in attaining Sustainable Development. Social entrepreneurs and organisations are change agents who can associate with efforts to combine resources so as to exploit opportunities that will impact on social and economic development. Social enterprises should actively collaborate with governments at different levels to carry out their envisaged sustainable and developmental activities. Social entrepreneurs should engage in training opportunities in social entrepreneurship to broaden their perspective on development of human, social, and economic sustainability, furthermore social entrepreneurs should redirect and refocus on their primary goal and role in social and economic development and sustainability. This requires that they develop a positive attitude towards their role in both direct and indirect economic and social activities, and that they actively engage communities, seeking opportunities for social entrepreneurship.
