Abstract: This article draws from African and Indian experiences to create a roadmap depicting points along the value-chain where social enterprises have leveraged partnerships. It explores the success of these enterprises in creating partnerships through opportunity recognition and co-creation of solutions, service delivery, market development, and scaling of social impact and examines the inherent attributes that social enterprises provide to transform the lives of smallholder communities. This article draws the attention of stakeholders including impact-institutions and traditional sectors that partnership with social enterprises, to maximise the impact on smallholder agriculture, given their unique attributes to create lasting changes in the smallholders’ lives, is a valuable proposition.
