A new grant competition has been started at the local level in the Poti municipality under the framework of the women’s socio-economic promotion program. The new program aims to achieve gender equality through economic empowerment of women.
It is worth noting that increasing access to financial resources is considered as one of the first conditions for the economic and social empowerment of women and will also contribute to the creation of an equal environment in society.
It is to be added that only women or women’s initiative groups registered in the city of Poti can participate in this grant competition. The city hall has been a frontrunner for many years in bringing change in the lives of women through empowerment.
