Marcella Maxfield, Regional Director of Action Against Hunger in the South Caucasus, welcomed the consortium members to the event and stressed the importance of this project, of which one component is focused on the socio-economic inclusion of vulnerable women at risk of exclusion. Over the five days the partner organisation staff and selected coaches will be trained on the methodology, so that they are able to run “Shuttles” in several locations across the country to support 600 vulnerable Georgian and Ukrainian women develop their employability and entrepreneurial skills.
