The 2008 SEED Awards for Entrepreneurship in Sustainable Development
The call for the "2008 SEED Awards for Entrepreneurship in
Sustainable Development" is opened on the 1st February 2008 and will
close on the 16th March 2008.
The SEED Initiative was founded by IUCN, UNDP and UNEP to deliver concrete
progress towards the internationally-agreed, aspirational goals in the UN’s
Millennium Declaration and the commitments made at the World Summit on
Sustainable Development in Johannesburg in 2002.
Innovative ideas are welcome from any group in a developing country, which
is working in partnership with others to generate environmental and social
benefits in an entrepreneurial way. SEED Award Winners then receive a
tailored package of support services to help them to become established and
to increase their impact. This includes access to relevant expertise and
technical assistance, meeting new partners and building networks, developing
business plans and identifying sources of finance. The Award is not a cash
prize - but the services offered have a value of US$25,000.
