Recently, the Carnegie Council’s Carnegie Ethics studio editor, Julia Taylor Kennedy, interviewed BRAC USA President & CEO, Susan Davis, as part of a series on global business ethics. Davis and Kennedy discussed how BRAC got its start, how BRAC addresses the ultra-poor through microfinance, and the evolving relationship between corporations and nonprofit organizations. In the interview, Davis mentions how BRAC measures success in alleviating poverty in terms of empowering individuals. She notes, “Although there is no magic bullet, social entrepreneurship unlocks everybody’s ability to be a change maker and to participate in the solutions to their own problems.”The full transcript of this revealing and informative conversation is available on the Carnegie Council website here. Audio of the interview is also available here.
