The organisations that constitute the sector also grapple with the unique problem of lack of systems, particularly financial. Scaling of these organisations (often called Impact Organisations), therefore, has been a significant problem. However, the commitment of these organisations to social change, and the impact they make on the poor and vulnerable is reason enough to increasingly recognize their critical role and importance. Scaling then, becomes increasingly relevant to these organisations to address these issues.
