Reports on Organization's Past Commitments

Society for Economic and Entrepreneurship Development (SEEED) program of work reflects the increasing concern in recognizing entrepreneurship as means to achieving sustainable development for any economy as encapsulated in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals 2030 by the United Nations body. Accordingly, the organization’s focus has been on how to advance sustainable economic development through the vehicles of entrepreneurship and leadership in a climate that is increasingly conservative, while remaining inward-looking. The organization has consistently anchored the publication of scientific research journals on economic and sustainable development issues such as: i. Journal of Economic Research and Entrepreneurship Development (JERED) ISSN: 2449-0962. www.intjered.org ii. Journal of African Enterprise and Finance Development. (JAEFD) ISSN:2714-3481. iii. International Journal of Leadership and Management Review. (IJLMR) ISSN: 2714-3465 iv. International Journal of Economic Resources and Sustainable Development. (IJERSD) ISSN:2714-3473 These remain proprietary tools being trans-disciplinary referenced journals on current trends in entrepreneurship to disseminate information, and review articles, research notes, and communications on basic and applied research in entrepreneurship and its relationship with other disciplines such as economics, agriculture, marketing, management, social sciences, arts, engineering, and sciences to enhancing sustainable development goals. Despite challenges arising from the paucity of funds due to the persistent economic downturn, SEEED has from time to time consistently conveyed and hosted events and conferences collaborating with Universities that speak on achieving sustainable development goals. Such conferences and events include the Entrepreneurship Development, Leadership International Conference and Exhibition; and National Entrepreneurship Conference and Exhibitions organized in collaboration with Polytechnics. The organization has not relented in pursuing such collaborations and activities that ensure peace, accountability, and just society through participation and representations in local and global events.
