In this talk, Justin N. Seruhere will discuss the central role of entrepreneurship in the attainment and sustainability of the MDGs in Sub-Saharan Africa, paying attention particularly to the case of Tanzania. He will focus on MDG 1 (the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger) and MDG 8 (the development of a global partnership for development). Drawing on the experience of Tanzania, he will argue that entrepreneurship can provide a new impetus and orientation for initiatives in pursuit of these development goals.  

The event is part of the UNU Midday Forum Programme, which offers an intimate and informal platform of discussion to the UN permanent missions, the UN Secretariat, UN agencies, academia, NGOs and the private sector to exchange ideas on important topics related to the UN.
