The efforts carried out by governments, local NGOs and multilateral organisations are not enough to foster inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Private organisations, such as businesses and entrepreneurs are the engine of innovation, being major contributors to national income and the principal job creators and employers.
Private sector development refers to strategies and hands-on programs for promoting economic growth by establishing and sustaining markets and empowering innovators to kick-off their businesses.
To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, the private sector needs to be fully on board. Today, businesses are active players, engaging with communities, governments and other stakeholders to foster sustainable development. By leveraging private sector development, we support the achievement of several SDGs, such as SDG6 in clean water and sanitation, SDG9 in industry, innovation and infrastructure, SDG11 in sustainable cities and communities, as well as SDG13 climate action. With our entrepreneurship programs worldwide, we contribute greatly to the achievement of target 4.4 (by 2030, substantially increase the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship) and target 8.3 (promote development-oriented policies that support productive activities, decent job creation, entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation, and encourage the formalisation and growth of micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises, including through access to financial services).
The contribution of entrepreneurs and businesses are crucial if we want to achieve the SDGs. seecon helps you to find innovative solutions to create impact!
