The S.E.VEN Fund (SEVEN) is announcing its 2009 - 2010 Student Essay Competition. This year they seek essays on inspiring new models of economic development from around the globe. The competition will award one (1) student prize of $10,000.
The Essay question is on the same line with Business journalist Jeff Chu’s article “Rwanda Rising: A New Model of Development” (Fast Company Magazine, April 2009) that tells the story of how the African nation of Rwanda is pioneering a new model of economic development that has broken existing paradigms and subverts traditional dynamics where rich donors parentalize the poor, and where development solutions are top-down, driven by sentimentality, and ultimately ineffective.
The SEVEN Fund is looking for other models like this, at the national, regional, or city levels, where communities and leaders have decided to stimulate human and economic development through a “heretical mix” of business strategy, local wisdom, and mutual benefit.
