In four communities of Zhytomyr region, training sessions were held for local government bodies with the support of the “EU4Business: Recovery, Competitiveness, and Internationalization of SMEs” program.
Eight training sessions—32 hours of intensive work—flew by for specialists from Radomyshl City Council, Malyn City Council, Korostyshiv City Council, and Bronnyky Settlement Council.
As a result of this collaboration:
– Three project proposals were prepared and submitted by the communities for a grant program for local authorities. Among these is one proposal for establishing an entrepreneurship support center.
– Malyn and Brusyliv communities created Viber and Telegram channels for fast communication and information-sharing with local entrepreneurs.
– Work has begun on the investment passport for the Korostyshiv community.
– The Brusyliv community has started revising and translating their investment passport.
And this is only the beginning!
We are delighted that communities are ready to collaborate with businesses and take steps to support business sustainability during wartime.
Thank you to our communities for their hard work and warm welcome.
Thanks to NGO Improve Yourself for their participation and partnership.
