SocialFinance.ca is proud to present live coverage of the second event in the Aga Khan Foundation Canada's series of Seminars on Innovative Financing for Development. Join our liveblog here on Tuesday, April 30.

The Social Innovation Research Group - Taiwan (SIRG) is pleased to announce the release of its White Papers from Pathways and Barriers to Social Enterprise Development, its inaugural symposium on social enterprise.
