Deadline: 31-Aug-23
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Kosovo has opened the call for proposal for implementing partner for Boost x Kosovo Programme. Join in driving positive change for 30 MSMEs!
This Call for Proposals (CFP) is specifically related to the UNDP Climate Promise Project, aiming to build the capacities of up to 30 MSMEs with high business potential to transition towards environmental sustainability on a green recovery by focusing on sustainable business models, risk management and digitalization. A significant emphasis will be given to women led MSMEs and those with high potential for job creation, making the green transition a holistic one.
The project will support the implementation of pilot solutions and ideas for green MSME practices and digitalization. These pilots will demonstrate the feasibility of decreasing negative environmental effects in a cost-effective way for future replications and/or scale-ups.
