What do you think of The SEEP Guidelines?
6:28pm - Sep 9, 2008

The SEEP Network Guidelines for Microenterprise Development in HIV and AIDS-Impacted Communities: Supporting Economic Security and Health made its debut in May, 2008. Our online conference in June brought up very interesting issues and field-tested solutions in relation to OVC, targeting strategies, and non-repayment of loans.

  • Have you found the The SEEP Guidelines useful in your work?
  • If yes or no, why? What is it about this document that has or has not been practical?
  • Do you have any comments or amendments to offer that would improve the Guidelines?
  • Do you have case studies or field experiences to share that illustrate the challenges or the proven benefits of integrated programming?

Each of the pages for the books above have enabled “Comments” sections just below the web text where you can place your comment. Or you could start a conversation here in the Microenterprise & HIV CafĂ© to discuss the pros and cons of The SEEP Guidelines.

Your feedback is welcome!
