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

exceptional : innovative ideas, with good scope for expansion, adaptation, and replication elsewhere.
entrepreneurial : with potential to become engines of sustainable growth, tenacious and creative in improving incomes and livelihoods.
nascent : in the early stages of their development and in need of capacity building and technical assistance to move from “idea” to “implementation”.
multi-stakeholder partnerships : social entrepreneurs, communities, women’s groups, companies and others, holding a common vision and pooling their resources to achieve it.
for locally-led : fermenting ideas and actions which bring direct benefits to people on the ground and are more suited to local circumstances.
sustainable development : finding new ways of simultaneously
- improving incomes and strengthening livelihoods,
- tackling poverty and marginalisation
- managing and conserving natural resources.
