Abstract	Increasingly, nongovernment organisations (NGOs) are looking to a strategy of social enterprise (SE) as a way to generate income. This strategy has advantages as well as drawbacks. An important advantage is to reduce dependency on donor funding, thereby increasing organisational autonomy and avoiding donor-induced goal displacement. In addition, SE generates social capital that can be mobilised to make operations more sustainable. Compared to donor-funded NGOs, SEs also have a much stronger incentive to be accountable to their beneficiaries (or clients) or even to prioritise them completely, thereby empowering local communities. However, a risk is that commercial activities may end up overshadowing social aims. Reduced accessibility of services may also occur, as people may have to start paying for them. There is good cause for NGOs to explore SE, but it needs to be approached with care. Since each funding strategy has its drawbacks, a diversification of funding sources is desirable.
