Beneblog: Technology Meets Society

DECEMBER 15, 2006

My primary destination in Bangladesh was to meet with BRAC , which is the world's largest NGO (nonprofit organization) with nearly 100,000 employees. BRAC is run as a social enterprise, and generates over 75% of its own budget through earned income. All of this with a culture of accountability and results at a massive scale.

Beneblog: Technology Meets Society

JANUARY 30, 2010

In the hallways, you’re as likely to run into the head of an international NGO, as CEO of a Fortune 100 company, as a renowned professor as the foreign minister of a major country. Today was an example of this. I also got to talk to Pablos because he knew Brian, and ask about ideas that might be worth licensing for social purposes.
