Sustainable Development Support
What is sustainable development ?
The concept of sustainable development is not just a passing fad ! Rather, it is a multitude of collective measures aimed at preserving natural and human capital, consistent with the official definition of the United Nations (UN), which is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (Brundland Commission).
Thus, SADC-HS is committed to supporting entrepreneurs throughout all stages of the process of setting up their projects, drawing inspiration from the UN definition, particularly the OECD’s strategy for cooperation and economic development, whose four main pillars of SD are the environment, social issues, the economy, and good governance in order to increase viable, sustainable economic benefits in the region.
