Grants for Women Entrepreneurs in Energy

A well-known German NGO “Help” encourages MFK’s WEE Program

Millennium Foundation Kosovo (MFK) will soon launch the third and final component of the Women in Energy grant programme, which is designed for small companies and start-ups with grants up to €3,000 for investments in energy efficient equipment and measures.

In preparation of the launch and implementation of this new and exciting component, MFK’s Implementation Consultant, a consortium led by GFA Consulting Group, has teamed up with Help – Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe e.V. HELP is a German non-governmental charitable organization, specialized in promoting small business development throughout Kosovo, amongst other countries in south east Europe.

“We are happy that a well-known German NGO “Help” will encourage the implementation of the small grants scheme supporting individual women entrepreneurs, within our larger activity of Women Energy Entrepreneurs. This cooperation between MFK, GFA-led consortium and “Help” will enable a wider outreach and support to satisfy the energy demand of women-owned and led businesses.”- stated Petrit Selimi, CEO of MFK.

Help will be the direct contact point for applicants, who will receive support in registering their business and aligning with Kosovo’s regulation on workplace and environmental safety.  Help will also provide guidance on technical solutions, together with the specialist engineers of GFA), to ensure that even the smallest women owned enterprises can grow their business through a more efficient use of energy.

We are looking forward to contribute to the success of this project within the consortium of MKF and GFA as we see a high unused entrepreneurial potential in Kosovo. This project is absolutely in line with our approach „TOGETHER FOR TOMORROW” which the organization Help is promoting in the region – says Timo Stegelmann, deputy managing director of Help.

The call for applications will be launched in the next couple of weeks.  So, watch this space!!

Women Energy Entrepreneurs-WEE is part of the Women in Energy Program – an activity implemented by Millennium Foundation Kosovo, an accountable entity responsible for implementation of the $49 million Threshold agreement, agreed between Republic of Kosovo and Millennium Challenge Corporation in 2017. MFK’s mission statement calls for accelerating Kosovo’s transition to energy independence and good governance. Kosovo Threshold Program addresses two key constraints to Kosovo’s economic growth: an unreliable supply of electricity; and real and perceived weakness in rule of law, government accountability and transparency.

25 years of Help in South East Europe

Together we are creating opportunities

Help can now look back on 25 years of work in South East Europe and on a period of the most intense need caused by violent conflicts, but also on years of hope and successes in sustainable development.

Unfortunately, reconciliation within and between the individual states in South East Europe remains a challenge, ethnic minorities are excluded, many young people have no prospects, and rapprochement with the EU and its values is proceeding only slowly. In addition to this, the repercussions of the coronavirus pandemic are clearly revealing the fragility of these states. It is vitally important that we remain committed to promoting stability in South East Europe and hence to promoting people’s protection, safety and self-determination.

Under the motto of our anniversary, “Together for Tomorrow”, we are therefore calling on states, civil society, business and every individual to stand up for people’s well-being.

We can live together in peaceful coexistence only if we take responsibility for each other and act collaboratively.

Help focuses on the following key operational areas in the context of its South East Europe strategy. Environmental protection and innovation always feed into them as crosscutting issues, especially in the context of economic development.

Farmers Logbook compiled by Help Mission in Kosovo

Dear farmers,

The realization of this work diary is made possible by the Help Kosovo organization and we hope that this book will serve the farmers in a useful way. Help in Kosovo provides social and economic assistance to people vulnerable to poverty and negative social phenomena.
The overall aim of the projects implemented by Help is to support sustainable development and stability in certain areas, with a focus on economic empowerment which are supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the German Government and implemented by the Kosovo office of the Help organization– Hilf zur Selbsthilfe.

Keeping records is a topic that few farmers care about discussing or practicing. However, it is becoming a critical and very important task in agriculture. As agriculture becomes more commercialized, farmers should strive to be confident about the performance of their farms at all times. This is difficult to achieve if a farmer does not keep a record of financial transactions and other activities that take place on the farm. Regardless of the record-keeping methodology, the best system is one in which all expenses and income are recorded at the correct time and manner.
