SEEDS—published by the Population Council from 1980 through 2006—is a pamphlet series developed to provide information about innovative and practical program ideas to address the economic roles and needs of low-income women. The pamphlets were designed as a means to share information and to spark new initiatives based on positive experiences from projects that are working to help women generate livelihoods and to improve their economic status.
