Determinants of Ethical Procurement Practices in Public Entities in Tanzania: A Case Study of the National Audit Office (NAO) Headquarters, Dar Es Salaam

Abstract

Social entrepreneurship has emerged in recent years given its importance for societal development and increasing today's economy. To some extents, institutions have failed to resolve the social problems and needs of the rural areas. In this regard, social entrepreneurship gives a new groundwork for the socio-economic development of the rural people in India. It is high time to adopt it as the alternative solutions to the problems faced by the rural people. Until now there has been less inclusive attempt to specify the extent of social entrepreneurship to the rural populated areas and it demands a new development approach to identify the methods to encourage social innovations both at local and regional levels. Therefore, this paper aims to start lling this gap by exploring the implications of social entrepreneurship and social networks that could better enable sustainable rural development. This paper also argued that social entrepreneurship is the distinct approach to achieve sustainable rural development and suggestions are given for ensuring a successful social entrepreneurship in India.
