Seed Initiative

Seed Initiative

The Seed Initiative inspires, supports and researches exceptional, entrepreneurial, nascent, multi-stakeholder partnerships for locally-led sustainable development.

innovative ideas, with good scope for expansion, adaptation, and replication elsewhere

with potential to become engines of sustainable growth, tenacious and creative in improving incomes and livelihoods

in the early stages of their development and in need of capacity building and technical assistance to move from “idea” to “implementation”

social entrepreneurs, communities, women’s groups, companies and others, holding a common vision and pooling their resources to achieve it

fermenting ideas and actions which bring direct benefits to people on the ground and are more suited to local circumstances

finding new ways of simultaneously
- improving incomes and strengthening livelihoods,
- tackling poverty and marginalisation
- managing and conserving natural resources
