ASSET is a comprehensive ten-part curriculum on building a sustainable social enterprise that is offered to every organisation Alfanar works with.
2. ALFANAR BACKGROUND:
Founded in 2004, Alfanar is the first venture philanthropy organisation operating on the Arab region. We work to improve lives in disadvantaged communities by strengthening and investing in ambitious social enterprises responding to the region-s pressing needs, particularly around children-s education and women-s economic empowerment. Alfanar provides grants and technical assistance to local social enterprises, enabling them to achieve greater financial sustainability, and scale their impact.
3. ASSET background:
In addition to financial investment, we believe that management support is key to creating sustainable, scalable social enterprises. Each organisation we work with therefore receives Alfanar Sustainable Social Enterprise Training (ASSET). We also offer our ASSET training outside our existing portfolio, supporting eco-system players in the social entrepreneurship field through delivery of the full curriculum or individual modules. Our clients are typically eco-system peers and partners (accelerators, bootcamps, incubators, global venture philanthropists with no local presence), foundations, NGOs, impact investor funds, international donors, and implementers of donor-funded projects. Currently, Alfanar is seeking to update the content of five ASSET modules, namely: Theory of Change, Financial Management, Governance, Impact Modelling and Measurement, and Business Model Canvas.

5. DELIVERABLES:

Alfanar requires the following to be produced as part of each revised module:
A module that explains the concept of each topic, its purpose, and how best to implement it, using best-practice examples from around the world and the Arab region (where possible)
A companion piece to the above for use by trainers, with exercises and tips for use during training
A companion PowerPoint presentation that can be used to facilitate the above training
A short pre and post evaluation of training
