The project aims to enhance the economic prosperity for women, including those that are internally displaced, living in the regions of Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Dnipropetrovsk in Ukraine. The project targets women with disabilities, and women living in rural or peri-urban areas, who struggle with economic survival, meeting basic needs for their families, and face increased vulnerability to poverty. The project also works to assist beneficiaries to find employment within existing garment production enterprises, or support them in creating sustainable livelihoods for themselves and their families through entrepreneurship in the garment sector, a key sector in which employment gaps and opportunities for women’s leadership have been identified. Project activities include: (1) delivering access to employment activities, including vocational training, and workplace integration training; (2) providing ancillary support, such as shared child care facilities; (3) providing tailored capacity-building support to women looking to establish new micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), and women who own or manage existing MSMEs in the garment industry; and (4) establishing a loan fund to be used by primary credit unions in the target regions to provide loans to the members of co-operatives and/or owners of MSMEs.
