Millennium Villages and Strategic Financial Management Vantage: Gate – Sachs Entrepreneurial Analytical Intersect

Abstract

This study examines the millennium villages project (MVP) concept in the light of strategic financial management – driven sustainable expansion, extension and sensation yearnings. Thus far, highly plausible millennium development goal (MDG) – related outcomes of the MVPs have been posted by Jeffrey Sachs, the lead initiator, which equally captures the Ikaram MVP in Ondo State of Nigeria. Nonetheless, reservations from concerned international watchers, including Bill Gates, border on perceived heightened idealism. The thrust of this study represents constructive projected and expected possibility intersect from both sides of the divide. This meaningful cross-fertilization should foster socio-entrepreneurial concord rather than discord among workers and watchers. It should go all the way to power the MVPs on the path of ultimate concretization of the MDGs as well as consummate actualization of the strategic financial management social-economic synergy, particularly in terms of sustained welfare of operatives, executives, and wider-society relatives.
