What is Social Outsourcing?

Summary. Social outsourcing and Fair Trade in IT, by Dr. Richard Heeks

Small organizations and medium and large enterprises can work together in a mutual benefits model. IT outsourcing is a business model with a human face and a development agenda. The ever growing market of IT services allows businesses to subcontract enterprises based in communities and formed by marginalised groups. This model is already a reality, and it has been happening in three areas specifically: government outsourcing to civil organization, urban businesses outsourcing to rural enterprises, and IT fair trade, offshoring IT services with a developmental focus.

For businesses

You can connect with a non-profit social enterprise like Digital Divide Data (DDD) in Cambodia and outsource your data entry and digitization work. DDD are a non-profit social venture that uses technology to improve lives of some of the world’s least developed nations. They are breaking new ground by bringing well-paid technology jobs to countries where they didn’t previously exist and to groups who struggle just to survive. When you outsource to DDD you have the satisfaction of knowing that 100% of your fee goes towards helping employ disadvantaged youth from their communities.
