Author(s) Mr. Herod Moonga, Adam Banda
Country Zambia
Abstract The study investigated the impact of social entrepreneurship on rural communities in Kawambwa District, the actual problem was the lack of empirical evidence on how social entrepreneurship has impacted the socio-economic development of rural communities in Kawambwa District. The Specific objectives were to analyze the effects of entrepreneurship across age groups, determine challenges affecting social entrepreneurship, assess the impact of entrepreneurial initiatives on financial, social, and environmental outcomes, explore the role of business plans in sustainable empowerment, and examine how funding and partnerships influence success. The study is significant for understanding how social enterprises contribute to rural development and community empowerment in Zambia. A case study design and mixed-method approach were adopted, focusing on Kawambwa Central and Pambashe constituencies, with a sample size of 50 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires, interviews, and focus group discussions and analyzed using Stata, SPSS, and Excel. Regression, t-tests, ANOVA, and chi-square tests were employed. Results showed significant differences among key financial variables (ANOVA, p < 0.001) and a strong association between funding and partnerships in entrepreneurial success (Chi-square, p = 0.023). The model’s R² (0.953) confirmed that 95.3% of the variation in social entrepreneurship was explained by financial variables, indicating a substantial link with community development. Findings reveal that social entrepreneurship enhances social impact, empowerment, and cohesion while reducing inequality. Access to capital and partnerships were identified as critical success factors. The study recommends targeted funding, entrepreneurship training, and community participation to enhance sustainability and rural development.
