Celebrating SEN’s ICW 2025 Award Win

The Social Employment Network (SEN), the SEF’s collaborative engine and community of practice, convened by the Economic Development Partnership (EDP), has won the Institute for Collaborative Working (ICW) 2025 Award in the category Collaborations Led by NGOs, Charities, or Civil Society Organisations.

This recognition affirms the SEN’s essential role in the SEF model: strengthening relationships, fostering shared learning, and creating the collaborative infrastructure that enables partners across South Africa to deliver meaningful, community-rooted social employment at scale. The SEN demonstrates that collaboration is not just part of SEF’s design, but one of its greatest strengths.

Thank you to all the Strategic Implementing Partners and the Industrial Development Corporation for their continued commitment and shared purpose. This is a programme that demonstrates the power of collective impact!

We look forward to deepening this work and strengthening the partnerships that make it possible.

New brief: Addressing hunger, developing skills and empowering communities

@socialemploymentfund's Strategic Implementing Partners (SIPs) are paving the way for a healthier, more sustainable future. The latest learning brief dives deep into how social employment initiatives can address food insecurity and improve nutrition.

With innovative projects and partnerships, SIPs are working towards:
- Increasing access to nutritious food
- Promoting local food systems
- Supporting vulnerable communities

This is just the beginning—let’s work together for better food systems that nurture all.

Check out the full learning brief to explore the transformative power of social employment in food security! (Link in bio)
