​​SOCIAL ENTERPRISE FOR ENERGY, ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (SEEED)

Collating 40-years of experiential hindsight in the Asia Pacific on what makes projects sustainable and deliver optimal socio-economic and environmental benefits, we established the Social Enterprise for Energy, Ecological and Economic Development (SEEED) approach for community-scale hydro implementation.  The approach is embedded into an accelerator program aimed to unlock the full potential of hydro mini-grid practitioners and communities. Check out the SEEED E-Learning Platform here!
