From June 10 to 11, business planning training sessions were held in the Kochkor district of the Naryn region. A total of 25 participants from the local youth and women attended the training.

During the training, participants learned the fundamentals of business planning: how to develop a sustainable business idea, create a plan, and assess potential risks. Now, the participants will start developing their own projects, which will later be supported by the FSDS project "Expanding Socio-Economic Opportunities for Socially Vulnerable Groups in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan."

The business ideas that pass the selection process will receive further financial support from FSDS to assist youth and women through economic initiatives in rural areas.
