Case Studies

SEED Case Studies provide an in-depth understanding of how SEED-supported eco-inclusive enterprises contribute to sustainable development through their innovative business models. Each enterprise-specific case study identifies how the featured enterprise addresses core environmental, social and economic challenges in their communities by delivering services and products which are socio-economically inclusive and environmentally-friendly. These studies are enhanced with short multimedia features that showcase the enterprise’s innovation, partnerships, SEED support and eco-inclusive impacts. These in-depth insights provide contextual evidence valuable to informing and motivating an enabling ecosystem of partners, policy and finance to support similar eco-inclusive enterprises as they start-up and scale-up.
