CRITERIA

THE INDIVIDUAL ENACTUS TEAM

 Enactus teams are organized by individual university campus. There are


intentionally very few rules or procedures established by Enactus
Worldwide for how these teams are organized and structured.
 The only parameters that Enactus worldwide places on project activity is
that teams’ programs should be designed to address the judging
criterion:

Which Enactus team most effectively used entrepreneurial action to


empower people to improve their livelihoods in an economically, socially
and environmentally sustainable way?

Understanding the Enactus Judging Criterion

The process of conducting a successful Enactus project can be broken down


into three steps:

Seeing Opportunity

Seeing opportunity involves conducting a thorough needs assessment with the


target audience.

 Basic steps involved in conducting a needs assessment include:


o Determining the target audience
o Developing a plan for assessing the economic, social and
environmental context of those individuals
o Examining current livelihood assets and strategies
o Conducting the assessment with the target audience, identifying
desired outcomes.
o Analyzing and applying the results
 Conducting a needs assessment in cooperation with the target audience
empowers those individuals and encourages project sustainability by
giving them a voice and a stake in their own outcome.
 Through this process, the team develops their capacity to see
opportunities to transform their own lives and the lives of others.
Taking Action

Taking action requires teams to use entrepreneurial action to empower


individuals.

 Enactus defines “entrepreneurial action” as taking the opportunity to use


sustainable business and sound economic practices to develop
innovative business models based on risk, commitment and a willingness
to follow through.
 Entrepreneurial action speaks to the manner in which projects are
developed and delivered. The team’s efforts should result in a
demonstration of creativity, innovation and an entrepreneurial culture.

Enabling Progress

Enabling progress makes the connection between project outputs and


improved livelihoods.

 Measuring and reporting direct and indirect outcomes determines the


effectiveness of the project and evaluates how the project empowered
people to improve their livelihoods in an economically, socially, and
environmentally sustainable way.
 Teams directly empower individuals when the target audience takes the
skills and/or knowledge in their lives.
 Livelihood strategies developed in collaboration with the people directly
empowered may also indirectly empower three individuals to improve
their livelihoods, and those individuals may go on to empower an
additional ten people each. The team would count those additional thirty
as indirectly empowered.
 Economic, social and environmental sustainability speaks not only to the
project, but also the livelihoods of the people empowered. This
sustainability ensures lasting, measurable, meaningful change.

KEY DEFINITIONS

 Livelihood: Means and activities involved in sustaining an individual’s


life.
 Livelihood Assets: Financial, social, natural, physical and human capital
used in obtaining desired outcomes.
o Financial assets: Financial resources available to an individual
o Social assets: Networks, groups and relationships
o Natural assets: Natural resources available to an individual (e.g.
air, water, land, etc.)
o Physical assets: Basic infrastructure and goods (e.g. shelter,
transportation, water supply, sanitation, energy, etc.)
o Human assets: Skills, knowledge and ability to work and pursue
livelihood strategies.
 Livelihood Strategies: The methods and processes used to transform
livelihood assets into outcomes.
 Livelihood Outcomes: Desired outcomes identified by the target audience.
 Outputs: The direct product of program activities, usually measured in
terms of volume or work accomplished- for example, the number of
classes taught, counseling sessions conducted, materials distributed and
participants served.
 Outcomes: The benefits or changes for individuals or populations during
or after participating in program activities. They are influenced by a
program’s outputs. Outcome may relate to behavior, skills, knowledge,
attitude, values, condition, status, or other attributes. They are what
participants know, think or can do; or how they behave; or what their
condition is, that is different following the program.
 Entrepreneurial Action: Taking the opportunity to use sustainable business
and sound economic practices to develop innovative business models
based on risk, commitment and a willingness to follow through
 Direct Impact: Direct impact is the number of individuals the team
directly worked with. Direct impact can be claimed when the project
target audience takes the skills and/or knowledge they learn during the
initial stages of the project and implement those skills and or/knowledge
in their lives.
 Indirect Impact: Indirect impact is the number of individuals who interact
with the project but the team did not work directly with them.

KEY FACTORS TO CONSIDER

The following list represents some key factors to consider when engaging the
team during the Question and Answer session. This list is in no way all-
inclusive and you are encouraged to explore all aspects of the team’s program
and activities.

 New versus continuing projects- consider only impact achieved during


this program year
 Extent to which target audience was empowered
 In cases of joint ventures, assess the extent of the team’s activities and
impact versus those of other project partners
 Distinction between fully completed versus partially completed projects
 Degree of sustainability for projects conducted over long distance
 Type and relevance of measurement tool(s) utilized
 Direct versus indirect impact
 Project outcomes versus outputs
 Distinction between outcomes per project phase vs. overall results
 Historical impact versus current impact versus projected impact

MAKING YOUR DECISION

 The most important activity that Enact teams engage in is developing


projects that address the Judging Criterion.
 Teams receive very specific training and instruction to focus their efforts
toward this Criterion, which has been determined by the Enactus
Worldwide Board of Directors
 Although you may personally believe there are other worthwhile activities
that teams should engage in, or actually hear about other activities from
the teams that present to you, please base your judging decisions on how
well each team’s projects fulfilled the criterion.
 Remember that within the framework of the criterion, teams have
complete discretion to choose the audiences they work with. You may
hear examples of many different groups that the teams have targeted
their programs toward, such as young people in an affluent suburb,
small business owners, villagers in a rural area, low-income individuals,
other university students, etc. Although some of the audiences that
teams target may appear to have more need than others, you should not
automatically give preference to these teams, rather base your judging
decisions on which teams were able to demonstrate impact on the
audiences they chose to work with.
 Enactus teams put a tremendous amount of time and energy into the
creation of their Annual Report and audiovisual presentation. You will
likely see very talented students who are dynamic speakers and who
have employed the use of sophisticated technology in their presentation.
Teams are certainly encouraged to be as creative as possible with their
presentation and we would ask that you not penalize any teams for being
too “flashy.” However, please do your best to look past the quality of the
presentations and base your evaluation on a serious review of the
content of them teams’ projects.
 Although teams will be assessed and evaluated on their programs and
not presentations, Enactus does permit judges to offer feedback on the
team’s ability to communicate results. However, the feedback does not
influence the competition results.

Enactus UP Visayas

Seeing Opportunity

The Leon Vegetable Growers Association is composed of 10 women and 15 men


from various barangays who are bestowed with potentials that if cultivated can
generate income and build more opportunities for them. The member- farmers
of Leon are blessed with bountiful resources and a getting perfectly designed
for agricultural activities to flourish. They also develop their own fertilizers and
are already knowledgeable of the different farming techniques. Still, they
continue to educate themselves about new and innovative farming techniques
and knowledge. Yet, the members’ lack of managerial knowledge limits their
organization to achieve their potentials. Most members of the organization has
little or no background about financial statements, marketing, operations,
being resilient to environmental factors and the importance of integrating
gender in farming and in their overall development.

Taking Actions

Given the concerns cited above, Enactus UPV designed an intervention that is
a systematic model in order to make the association more sustainable. Enactus
UPV formulated temporal goals which are: short term, mid-term and long term.
Short term goals include equipping the farmers with the necessary information
needed to improve their business, setting up the association’s mission and
vision statements and processing the legalities of the association. These are
achieved through a series of capacity enhancement trainings and follow-ups.
Midterm goals include being exposed to more complex trainings and evident
application of the previous trainings, having increasing savings, being able to
rent a car to be used for the operations of the association, and being able to
strategize how to deal with environmental factors. The long term goal of this
project is for the organization to attain sustainability that even without the
presence of Enactus UPV, they can withstand on its own and be able to
innovate more products and strategies for the association. All of these boil
down to honing them as better entrepreneurs who can later manage their
business on their own.
Enabling Progress

Enactus UPV focused only in capacity enhancements but this does not mean
they have imparted a lesser impact. In fact, these trainings contribute the
progress not only of the beneficiaries but also the students.

Environmental

An environmental resiliency orientating training was conducted in order for


them to be aware on how to handle different environmental situations
specifically their crops. Moreover, this training taught the farmers how to
respond to various natural hazards that may affect them and their crops. The
orientation emphasized the importance of having information and making use
of that information to be resilient and to sustain the environment.

Economic

A series of orientation trainings was conducted to further strengthen the


economic stability of the association. Trainings such as financial literacy
enabled the framers to keep track of their finances and create financial
statements. Also, the farmers were able to have additional knowledge on more
effective and efficient resource allocation. In addition, trainings in marketing
and operations were also done to the farmers for them to properly market and
promote their products and the way they run their business. These trainings
can pave the way for a more profitable business in the future.

Social

The target beneficiaries of this project are rebel returnees. Being former
members of the armed revolutionary group, these people were indeed
principled and have very strong advocacies. This imposed a challenge to
students on how they are going to effectively handle the project as well as to
the farmers on how they are going to accept the new ideas from young people.
This project improved the farmers’ ability to interact and be with people more
securely than before knowing that they were former members of armed
revolutionary group. They were exposed to various orientation trainings that
helped build their esteem through the knowledge they get. The partnership
formed also created a different view of them which is very farm from what
people used to see them.

Sustainability
Given the interventions and initiatives we made, we see the association as a
group that could stand on their own. We started the project by strengthening
the organizational concerns of the association and by enhancing their
entrepreneurial knowledge that is essential for the business to flourish. We
underscore the importance of enhancing human potentials than ‘spoon-feeding’
the group with product our team had made. We want them to be self-sufficient
that is why we chose the less popular path of enhancing the potentials of the
group and let them innovate on their own. This project also emphasized the
borderline between dependency and helping out. We believe that in this kind of
model, the association will be able to attain sustainability.

Seeing Opportunity

October 15, 2013 was not an ordinary day for Boholanos. This is the day of the
7.2 magnitude earthquake which resulted to the loss of love ones, homes,
livelihoods and an extreme stirring in the foundation of their faith.

That was the day they never thought that would change the cycle of their lives.
The imagery of terrified residents, and the widespread damage of icons of
Boholano culture and heritage including the treasured churches. Buildings
and infrastructure collapsed, bridges split into half and innocent lives were
taken- these are still vivid in the memory of every Boholano making them feel
that they were in the brink of doom.

Barangay Loreto, Cortes, Bohol is one of the sternly affected areas during the
said tragedy that stuck our beloved Bohol. The loss of livelihood is a dilemma
among Loretohanons.

Taking Actions

Seeing this scenario, the Enactus-BISUMC thought of a way to liberate people


from financial distress. The team developed a community project called Puso
ng Pagbangon: Puso Coin Purse. The beneficiaries are the un-employed
women in Barangay Loreto. It addresses the need of our beneficiaries to ease
their financial pains and cause them to gain income for their living. It aims to
provide them a genuine opportunity for a new start.

The main material of the project is the abundant “guinit” from the coconut
trees. Guinit is removed from the coconut trees. This act lessens the chances
for rates to breed there at, thus making the coconut trees more productive
bearing more fruits. The utilization of the guinit provides a solution for the
disposal of this material because dumping it anywhere can cause an unhealthy
surrounding when mosquitos inhabit in this trash. On the other hand, burning
it emits carbon dioxide which is also harmful for the environment.

Puso ng Pagbangon: Puso Coin Purse project is not only giving people a
chance to earn more but also to spread awareness in taking care of our natural
resources because this is the reason why we, humans are here for.
