Project Description

The project aimed to support underserved and socially vulnerable groups (SVGs) to improve their access to available financial resources.

The main objectives of the project included:

● Providing underserved, more specifically Azerbaijani and Armenian ethnic minorities in Kvemo Kartli and Samtskhe-Javakheti regions, and socially vulnerable groups (SVGs) with necessary information on funding opportunities available in Georgia;

● Providing learning from the experience to Enterprise Georgia (EG) - the relevant state agency that offers funding opportunities to MSMEs;

● Identifying coordination and communication mechanisms between key stakeholders.

In the framework of the project, CSD brought together and closely worked with the Enterprise Georgia (EG), local entrepreneurs, CSOs, municipal authorities, and media platforms.
