PUBLIC CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS: Creating an Advocacy Toolkit for youth entrepreneurship

Target participants: entrepreneurs and civil society organizations

Target countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, Macedonia and Serbia

The Western Balkan Youth Entrepreneurship Alliance announces a public call for young entrepreneurs and civil society organizations from all Western Balkan countries to join the process of creating an Advocacy Toolkit for influencing public policies for young entrepreneurs during Covid-19. The Advocacy Toolkit will be created through a participative approach involving young entrepreneurs and civil society organizations from the Western Balkan countries. The toolkit will offer recommendations for policy measures for supporting youth entrepreneurship during the Covid-19 crisis.

Interested entrepreneurs and civil society organizations will form three working groups and will work on creating recommendations for policy measures for three target groups: 1) public sector, 2) private sector and 3) civil society sector. The groups will work on the toolkit over the course of two months (June – July 2021) with regular online coordination meetings. The groups will be moderated by experienced policy experts in the field of entrepreneurship.

The Advocacy Toolkit will serve as a manual and will help the newly established Western Balkan Youth Entrepreneurship Alliance to lobby for better policy measures for youth entrepreneurship in the Western Balkan region.

Interested entrepreneurs and civil society organization should register by filling up this form.

The Western Balkan Youth Entrepreneurship Alliance is a regional civil society network established by the Youth Entrepreneurial Service Foundation (Macedonia), BSC Bar (Montenegro) and Innovation Center Banja Luka (Bosnia and Herzegovina).

The Youth Entrepreneurial Service Foundation and its partners are supported by RYCO within the 4th Open Call for Project Proposals co-financed by the European Union.
