” The financial resources in social entrepreneurship should be directed towards replicating models that are effective in practice. On the one hand, it may affect the innovativeness of the activities in social enterprises, and on the other hand, it will also contribute to financial stability. In subsequent years, it is expected that government’s expenditure in the social sphere will be reduced and accumulated in organizing programs with expected results. Priority will be given to those social enterprises that use effective models of monetization of social influence, which lead to the consolidation of social businesses. The government should clearly identify what social enterprises need and what social tasks they will solve. The qualitatively new level of development for social entrepreneur- ship will depend on the establishment of inter-sectoral cooperation by key partners such as: government authorities and local governments (regulatory support, the main mechanism of financial support); business (mentoring, grant support); media (promotion of activities); the educational institutions (social entrepreneurship training course) and public organizations (working directly with the public with the purpose of
clarifying the value of key principles of social enterprises).”
