Design CSV as deal structure, not philanthropy: local sourcing and kinship equity suppress σ and open supplier/market access.
01 Executive Overview
This playbook operationalizes Creating Shared Value for African enterprise: identifying the value nodes where community benefit and enterprise return reinforce each other, structuring local-sourcing and kinship-equity instruments, and suppressing value leakage (σ). It includes design patterns, a CSV canvas and worked examples across agriculture and manufacturing.
02 Purpose
Move CSV from slogan to structured deal design with measurable, mutual returns.
03 Business Value
Well-structured CSV lowers σ and community risk while opening new supplier and market access.
04 Key Insights
- CSV works when community value is structured into the deal, not donated after it.
- Local sourcing is the highest-leverage CSV instrument for σ-suppression.
- Kinship equity aligns incentives that contracts alone cannot.
