Annex 5.A5 Recent initiatives to support social innovation Social innovation seeks new answers to social problems by identifying and delivering new services that improve the quality of life of individuals and communities and by identifying and implementing new labour market integration processes, new competencies, new jobs, and new forms of participation that help to improve the position of individuals in the workforce (OECD, 2014a) Research and innovation systems can certainly help respond to these social problems However, the traditional disciplinary focus of academia and public research limit opportunities for developing appropriate solutions Policy instruments, often still overlooking the demand-side dimension, are also poorly suited for supporting social – and more generally all forms of non-technological – innovation The specific challenges of social innovation are being increasingly acknowledged Several countries, including Malaysia, have for instance developed some type of service innovation strategy A few countries such as Costa Rica are developing a dedicated strategic framework for social innovation (OECD, forthcoming) or have put in place specific instruments at it is the case in Colombia (OECD, 2014b) Moreover, in many countries, policies to support innovation have been developed mainly from an R&D or manufacturing perspective The latest policy trends show that countries have extended the scope of their established policy instruments to include other types of innovation rather than creating new specific ones (OECD, 2014a) This is the case in Malaysia where MOSTI has included social innovation in the eligibility criteria of its R&D fund since 2015 (Bernama, 2015) The Eleventh Malaysia Plan (EPU, 2016), which places its focus on people, aims to create a particularly favourable strategic framework for social innovation to develop In the innovation area specifically, the emphasis is put on strengthening relational capital by improving collaboration among all stakeholders, which is a key condition to social innovation A number of related actions are programmed in the Plan, along three main strategic thrusts (see Table 5.5):  strengthening collaboration through a whole-society approach  developing a social Financing model  promoting higher order thinking skills to develop a dynamic society The implementation of these actions will be facilitated by already established institutions and instruments, including:  The Social Innovation Fund This fund, operated by MOSTI, aims to extend the InnoFund’s “Community Innovation Fund” by supporting projects that include social innovation aspects (94 projects approved in 2015, worth about MYR12.3 million) (Hashim, 2015) Up to MYR20 million should be dedicated annually to MOSTI Social Innovation (MSI) Projects The target beneficiaries of MSI projects are the students, NGOs, community groups, women's organizations and ethnic communities (MOSTI, 2015) OECD REVIEWS OF INNOVATION POLICY: MALAYSIA 2016 © OECD 2016 www.ebook3000.com INNOVATION POLICY AND GOVERNANCE IN MALAYSIA – 237  The Malaysian Global Innovation and Creativity Centre (MaGIC),an organisation dedicated to social entrepreneurship created in 2014 It operates several programmes to support entrepreneurial initiatives led by communities such as the MaGIC Academy (full-time coding and design) or “@Stanford” (training programme for start-up founders at Stanford University)  The National Innovation Agency (AIM) fulfils its mission to support innovation ecosytems using a broad definition of innovation, including social innovation and innovation in the public sector (such as for instance social public-private partnership) The AIM has also created the Social Impact Measurement Toolkit to encourage social purpose organisations (SPOs) to measure the level of successfulness of these projects References Bernama (2015), “Mosti Fund scope expanded to include
