We made proposals to creditors to strengthen their activities in Azerbaijan. Now we are implementing a project Support for Young Entrepreneurs. The project is funded by the EU. Two-day trainings for young entrepreneurs were organized in Baku, Ganja, Gabala, Mingachavir, Khachmaz, Gakh, Zagatala and Masalli. 146 people participated in the trainings. At the same time a webinar was held to restore income, the volume of which decreased during the pandemic, to improve the financial situation of entrepreneurs.”
