This allows each person the fullest, richest life. This document discusses the evolution of the citizen sector and Ashoka's role: from its beginnings as an investor in the world's leading social entrepreneurs towards its emerging focus on community and infrastructure building.

Keywords: social entrepreneurship, social change, Ashoka, empowerment, citizen sector
