GEEP (Global Entrepreneurship Education Program) is a program under the auspices of UNESCO UNITWIN (University Twining and Networking) to helpcollege students, teachers, professors, government planners, and prospective entrepreneurs in developing countries to learn entrepreneurship mindset through experience,so they may in turn relay it to others and contribute for economic development for developing countries.
It is a program with a purpose to help developing countries to establish the capacity for sustainable development themselves and to allow them eventually to catch up with developed countries through the university network.
Entrepreneurship plants a seed of hope and innovation in the minds of people in developing countries that will in turn bear more fruits and seeds to be shared among the many others in needs. Thus it will initiate the process to share the prosperity among the countries in needs and rid the poverty from the earth.
