30 Business Ideas by Women and Girls in Kosovo to Receive Support through the Grant Scheme

We are pleased to announce the successful completion of the evaluation process for the First Phase of the Grant Scheme “Capacity Building and Provision of Equipment for 100 New Women-Owned Businesses”, implemented within the project “HER FUTURE – Empowering Women Entrepreneurs in Kosovo.”

The strong interest in this grant scheme once again demonstrated the energy, creativity, and determination of women and girls to establish their own businesses. Out of 105 interested women and girls, following the evaluation process and business establishment and management training, 33 complete grant applications were submitted.

The Evaluation Committee recommended 30 business ideas for funding, while 3 applications were placed on the reserve list.

This marks only the beginning of a new entrepreneurial journey for many young women who are working to transform their ideas into sustainable businesses.

We would like to thank all applicants for their trust and for sharing their valuable business ideas. We wish you every success and look forward to seeing your new businesses grow!

The grant scheme is implemented by PREDA Plus in partnership with WEntrepreneur, with the support of Arbeiter Samariter Bund and funding from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). This grant scheme is also implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of Regional Development, which has secured part of the funds for co-financing this scheme.
