Business as unusual: Last call for proposals for the Seed Award 2007!

The Supporting Entrepreneurs for Environment and Development Environment (Seed) Initiative calls for proposals from locally driven, partnerships that promote economic growth, social development, and environmental stewardship for the second round of its biennial award. Applications for the award are due to the Seed Secretariat no later than October 15, 2006.

The Seed Initiative, established at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development, promotes the important contributions local entrepreneurial partnerships are making towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation.

The finalists will be announced in the late fall of 2006 with the winners announced at a ceremony during the 15th Session of the UN Commission on Sustainable Development in New York, May 2007.

The Seed Award is a global competition designed to publicly recognize and support “business as unusual” - innovative, entrepreneurial partnerships that promote economic growth, social development and environmental stewardship. Through the provision of targeted services, support, training and exposure to additional networks, the Seed Initiative helps winners bring their initiatives to fruition.

Application forms can be filled in online or downloaded from the Seed Initiative website at http://www.seedinit.org/. If you are unable to submit your application electronically, please call the Seed Awards Hotline at +49 30 – 89 000 68 99.
