• Development of entrepreneurial skills and management capacities.

2. Financial Support for Business Initiatives
Following the training sessions, participants developed detailed business plans. Based on the criteria of innovation and sustainability, 19 of the highest-rated business plans received direct financial support, enabling the practical realization of these new female-led ventures.

3. Promotion and Networking
A “Women’s Entrepreneurship Day” was organized in Podgorica, serving as a prominent platform for women from Kolašin, Mojkovac, Pljevlja, and Cetinje to showcase their work and products. This event was instrumental in increasing the visibility of rural businesses and establishing vital professional networks.
