As part of the Public Call for Strengthening the Role of Women in the Circular Economy, 20 of the most successful initiatives were selected to receive financial support ranging from 5,000 to 20,000 USD to help bring their ideas to life.
Due to the high number of applications and the quality of circular solutions proposed by women entrepreneurs from across Serbia, 20 women were supported - which is twice as many as originally planned and announced. In addition, the total award fund was increased to 240,000 USD.
The best initiatives offered sustainable solutions in the production of cosmetics, textiles, and food, as well as in the fields of agriculture and architecture.
The list of awarded circular initiatives, as well as all submitted proposals,is available in Serbian HERE.
Any questions regarding the results of this call can be sent to info@cirkularnezajednice.rs or ana.mitic.radulovic@undp.org.
The initiatives were selected through a public call launched within the project "Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Local Communities by Applying the Principles of the Circular Economy in the Republic of Serbia – Circular Communities", implemented by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), with financial support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
