Income Generation |
The purpose of the Stabilization Through Income Generation (STIG) Program was
to assist small micro urban and rural businesses that have the potential for
development and sustainability but lack access to training and capital. With
funding from GBGM, this Kosovo-wide program served entrepreneurs of all ethnic
groups who had been overlooked by traditional financial institutions. Activities
included the provision of four grants to four local businesses; disbursal of
over 600 micro-credit loans to Kosovo Albanian and Serbian entrepreneurs;
development of a Business Services Office offering the same support services
presently available in the Albanian community to Serbian businesses; development
of 12 inter-ethnic business linkages for 22 Kosovo Albanian and Serbian
businesses through the services of an Inter-ethnic Business Liaison; and
provision of high-quality business training to over 500 entrepreneurs of all
ethnic groups in Kosovo.
