Social Franchising and ECD

A social franchise is significantly different from a commercial one, because it is set up to maximise social impact rather than profits. However, a social franchise does draw from systems and processes used in commercial franchising to provide a consistent range of services, by creating an organised network of providers.

Social franchising is being used all over the world as a game-changing strategy for providing essential services at scale.
