Abstract:

Social entrepreneurs have “captured” the attention of policy makers, scientists, institutions, and organizations especially strongly in recent years. This is due to their potential to support public efforts to solve serious social problems and especially the challenges related to certain vulnerable groups. At the same time, municipal authorities are closest to the people of a region and are often faced with the need to introduce policies and seek an approach to support citizens from vulnerable groups. Local authorities are involved in both infrastructure and the economy, as well as the environment and the delivery of certain social services. Often, these authorities lack the finances necessary to provide guaranteed high-quality services to vulnerable groups in the region. This forms the basis of the objective of this publication: to consider the possibilities of interaction between social entrepreneurs and local authorities to create prerequisites for higher activity and effectiveness of activities aimed at social problems in a certain community. Methods include literature review, data analysis and synthesis, comparisons, expert evaluation
