The document discusses measuring the success of social enterprises. It outlines two key areas of evaluation: 1) providing supportive employment and skills development, and 2) achieving social enterprise profitability and self-sufficiency. An asset-based approach is taken to analyze success. A flexible measurement framework is needed to define success based on the enterprise and target employees. Social return on investment is proposed to test hypotheses around the social enterprise model's effectiveness in developing sustainable livelihoods and achieving self-sufficiency over time. Challenges in implementing this approach are also discussed.
