Waste management and circular economy development agency

During the free training programme, participants took part in 12 practical sessions covering circular economy principles, business planning, green marketing and financial management. With the support of experienced mentors, they learned how to turn their ideas into viable business projects. At least 50% of the participants were women and young people.

At the final presentation event, participants showcased projects aimed at reducing waste, promoting recycling and protecting the environment.

The submitted projects are currently being reviewed by the selection committee. The authors of the best initiatives will have the opportunity to receive grants of up to USD 10,000 to launch or expand their businesses. The results of the competition will be published on the project organisers’ official platforms, including UNDP Uzbekistan’s Telegram channel: https://t.me/undpuzbekistan.
