Preparing for public works

At the beginning of a public works project sponsored by the Ministry of Economy and Regional Development, and the National Employment Agency, Ethno Network held a preparatory meeting with representatives of eight member groups, so as to agree on project goals and implementation details. The project will include forty unemployed women as direct beneficiaries of public works. These producers will receive specialized training, consultancy and design assistance over the six months of the project, in order to produce high-quality, well designed handicrafts that will be handed over to the Ministry of Economy as business gifts.
