Abstract
Social entrepreneurship (SE) began to be strongly supported in Central and Eastern European countries during the programming period of 2007- 2013. However, the level of SE development still lags behind developed countries.
The paper focuses on the identification of barriers to SE development in the Czech Republic and recommendations for policymaking. The value added is the adaptation of the Community of Practice on Inclusive Entrepreneurship methodology and its verification.
A limited range of financial support options and a lack of interest of banks to improve the availability of loans were identified as main barriers to the development of SE.
