29 July, 2018 - On Tuesday, July 31st, in cooperation with the United Nations Development Office, the Secretariat for Tourism, Economic Development and Entrepreneurship will organize an info day on the adoption of the Decision on the criteria, method and procedure for allocating funds for support to women entrepreneurship, which was adopted at the last session of the Municipal Assembly on July 24th this year.
According to the local administration, in September, it is planned to invite all interested entrepreneurs from the Municipality of Herceg Novi who want to start their own business and receive irreversible financial support from the Municipality.
On the info day, the Decision will be presented, as well as the principles of cooperation with the Municipality and the United Nations Office for Sustainable Development – which provided consultative support for all interested business idea makers.
The introduction of a special budget line to support women entrepreneurship at the local level is a result of the political action of the Women's Political Network that brings together representatives of 16 party and opposition parties in Montenegro. Its goal is to influence policy making that will contribute to creating a more favorable social environment and adequate policies and measures to achieve equality between women and men.
The Women's Political Network and Support for Women Entrepreneurship is part of the Programme "Support to Anti-Discrimination and Gender Equality Policies", implemented by the UNDP Office in Montenegro, in partnership with the Ministry of Human and Minority Rights, and with the financial support of the European Union Delegation in Montenegro.
Info day will be held in the big hall of the Municipal Assembly of Herceg Novi at 11 AM. Organizers invite all interested to participate and contribute.
