The organisation of the CSR market and the fight against poverty: lessons from the case of Mauritius
Since 2009, Mauritius has implemented a market for CSR aiming to finance the fight against poverty. This market is ruled and controlled by the NCSRC who plays the role of intermediary between enterprises and NGOs. The actual functioning of the market therefore encounters three main problems. First, The NGOs identified as beneficiaries hardly find themselves actually benefitting from it. Second, projects are financed on communitarian and confessional grounds which could create inter-communitarian conflicts. Third, the interference of political parties in NGOs’ actions and activities deviate social work intended for the poor toward political objectives.
