ANNUAL REPORT 2024 17 ACRE and Centre for Just Places partner on impact measurement In November 2024, ACRE and Centre for Just Places announced a partnership to enhance collective efforts to alleviate disadvantage in rural communities. The collaboration will focus on the proactive interventions that shift communities out of disadvantage, leveraging and enhancing ACRE’s Thrive Framework as a key tool for understanding and measuring the impact of a place-based ecosystem for social entrepreneurship. ACRE calls for the co-design of a Rural Social Enterprise Network In September 2024, ACRE launched an advocacy campaign in partnership with Social Enterprise Network Victoria (SENVIC) and endorsed by Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF), calling for the co-design of a Rural Social Enterprise Network for Australia. By calling for the co-design of a Rural Social Enterprise Network, we can give rural social enterprises and entrepreneurs a stronger collective voice and unlock new resources and opportunities. Already, over 100 people have added their voice to the campaign, with representation from every State and Territory. Add your voice at acre.org.au/ ruralsocialenterprisenetwork.
