The Ministry of Labor, Family and Liberation War Values (MLFLWV) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) have signed the Implementation Agreement for the “Economic Empowerment of Women (EEW)” project, an initiative that aims to improve the structural, individual and social conditions for women in Kosovo, by increasing their access to the labor market and employment opportunities, with a special focus on women from rural areas and underrepresented categories.
This project will support the development and improvement of employment services, strengthening institutional capacities, career guidance, vocational training and the promotion of active labor market policies, with the aim of creating more opportunities for the inclusion of women in economic life.
The project also foresees close cooperation with the Ministry of Labor, Family and Liberation War Values and the Employment Agency of the Republic of Kosovo for the support of social enterprises. In this context, a joint working group will be established and a needs assessment will be carried out, on the basis of which further activities will be planned in accordance with the project objectives and available resources.
The agreement is part of the development cooperation between the Republic of Kosovo and the Federal Republic of Germany, which is implemented within the framework of agreements and understandings between the two governments for economic and technical cooperation, proving once again the close partnership between the two countries in support of the economic and social development of Kosovo
