Funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the SEEP Network's Value Initiative created the Urban Value Chain Development Practitioner Learning Program and the Business Planning for Sustainability and Scale-Up Practitioner Learning Program. Together, these two PLPs engaged 18 organizations and developed innovative models for sustainable, large-scale enterprise development as well as increased the incomes of thousands of small enterprise owners. There were 11 unique learning products developed throughout the life of the program.
