The best way to help the poor is

….. To support for their economic development.

Break the cycle of poverty by giving them work.

And that’s what is called…………….



Impact Sourcing



Impact sourcing It’s small, but growing industry

Its hiring people at the bottom of the pyramid

It gives digital tasks such as transcribing audio files,editing…… entering data, online research, tagging videos, managing content .

Its not micro financing.



Digital Divide Data (DDD) Its a social enterprise that provides disadvantaged

youth in Cambodia, Laos and Kenya with theeducation and training they need to deliver world-

class, competitively priced digital content services toglobal clients and break the cycle of poverty.

This not-for-profit company provides data entry,digitization and other digital content services to

clients worldwide, including Reader's Digest, HarvardBusiness School, New York Daily News, NationalLibrary of the Netherlands and others. This model isnow called "Impact Sourcing."



Impact Sourcing

Impact Sourcing, benefits disadvantaged individuals,

has a big role to play in promoting youth employmentin developing countries. Supported by the RockefellerFoundation.









Need for Impact sourcingTo employ youth entering the workforce and help decrease youth unemployment by 50

percent, over 700 million jobs will need to be created by 2020.

Impact Sourcing can help by providing previously unavailable employment opportunities totalented resource pools.

The value proposition for Impact Sourcing is strong: it directly impacts those most in need.

The changing delivery model.

Continued cost pressures on corporations and governments.

The expanded list of countries that can compete for outsourcing work due to increasingreach and decreasing cost of telecommunications.

Increasing demand for digitized records in the public and private sectors.

E-Government trends.



Recommendations In order to move this initiative forward and for it to gain momentum and become a vital

part of the outsourcing sector, a number of actions need to be taken. Increase awareness of Impact Sourcing.

Seek to scale Impact Sourcing. Leverage alliances with large-scale traditionaloutsourcers who have access to large client contracts, and focus Impact Sourcingoperations with an intention to scale in areas with an established outsourcing center.

Traditional outsourcers to increase Impact Sourcing initiatives.

Recognize existing on-shore and off-shore opportunities. Impact Sourcing can alsoexist to support disadvantaged individuals within developed countries.

Establish credible governance structures. To preserve the integrity of ImpactSourcing and ensure its core messages are not compromised, credible governancestructures are vital.

Expand the definition of Impact Sourcing. Impact Sourcing should include any focus

on sourcing employees from uniquely disadvantaged groups, rather than only focusingon outsourcing.

Promote and support Impact Sourcing initiatives.

Test Impact Sourcing initiatives.



Recommedations (contd) Impact sourcing service providers are social

enterprises that hire, train and invest in impactsourcing workers.

They need more contracts, more customerrelationships and international marketing to delivermore social impact.

Businesses in the United States and Europe need tobuy into these services – local African businesses won’tbe enough.



The findings, contained in the new working paper, JobCreation through Building the Field of ImpactSourcing, also finds significant potential for povertyalleviation because ……..

Impact Sourcing workers can earn incomes up to 100percent over alternative employment options.



Impact Sourcing Africa Impact Sourcing Africa is a Kenyan Business Process

Outsourcing company incorporated in 2012.

The company located in Kisumu is a partnership ofentrepreneurs who were running small businesses inoutsourcing.

The company with a social mission to employ

vulnerable people from the Nyanza region offersquality outsourced work at competitive rates meetingcustomer’s timelines for private and public entities.



Africa & IS Africa will soon have the largest workforce on earth,

but its economy isn’t creating jobs fast enough to meeta growing labor supply. Despite decades ofdevelopment, few solutions have delivered job creationat scale.

However, as our industries advance from analog todigital, there’s plenty of work to go around. This is theprincipal tenet of impact sourcing – bringingtraditional outsourced work to disadvantagedcommunities.
