As part of the project titled "IDP Community Mobilization and Capacity Development in Mingachevir, Goranboy, and Yevlakh,” which is funded by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and carried out by "Umid” Support to Social Development Public Union ("Umid” SSD PU), training sessions on "Business Plan” and "Introduction to Entrepreneurship” were conducted at the Yevlakh Aran Regional Development Center of the Small-Medium Business Development Agency.
A total of 50 individuals (29 men and 21 women) participated in the training, including 30 young people from internally displaced families selected as part of the "Apprenticeship” component of the project from the target communities, along with 20 individual entrepreneurs. During these training sessions, participants received comprehensive instruction on fundamental entrepreneurial skills, including business concepts, business idea development and assessment, various business types, and the essentials of a business plan. Additionally, they actively engaged in group activities and discussions.

The main objectives of the "IDP Community Mobilization and Capacity Development in Mingachevir, Goranboy, and Yevlakh” project, initiated in February of this year, are to enhance the resilience of existing IDP communities and empower them with the necessary skills to be better prepared to the upcoming return process through the implementation of Participatory Community Development and Apprenticeship methods.
