Caritas Ukraine has announced the launch of a new project called REMARKET – “Restoration and empowerment through market access and sustainable economic transformations.” This project is based on the results of previous pilot initiatives, ELIS and ELIS Odesa.
Main objectives of the project
By 2027, REMARKET aims to improve business operations, resilience, and income-generating opportunities for 150 micro, small, and medium enterprises owned by internally displaced persons (IDPs), repatriates, and members of communities hosting IDPs. The project also seeks to increase the income of at least 1,000 IDPs, repatriates, and community members by ensuring their sustainable employment.
More detailed information about the REMARKET project and how to participate will be available soon. Stay tuned for our announcements.
