Within the framework of the "Immediate Emergency Response" (Emergency) component of the STRIVE project, “Dilijan Community Center” NGO engaged women who received business development skills through another initiative implemented by DCC with GIZ funding. In the first phase of the project, women generated business ideas, carried out SWOT analysis, and developed business plans in accordance with the Canvas Business model (how to explore the market, select target groups and to choose ways of working with them, build partnerships, develop valuable offers, and determine the main resources and actions). 

The second phase of the project will be conducted in Year 2 where beneficiaries will become familiar with cash flow and cost management and will present their micro businesses to the evaluation committee to receive funding for implementation.
