On Friday, March 31, 2023, in the Educational Center Dimitrovgrad, Balkanska 2, starting at 11:00 a.m., a ceremony was held to award contracts for beneficiaries and employers on the Reintegration II project, with the support of the Dimitrovgrad municipality.
Signed contracts were ceremoniously awarded for:
- 15 beneficiaries who received greenhouses to start agricultural production and earn additional income for their families
- 3 employers who received subsidies in the form of equipment and thereby employed a total of 12 project beneficiaries
Beneficiaries who received greenhouses were primarily trained in business planning and product placement, but also in household management in order to make the best use of the support provided through the project and thereby achieve stable income. Three employers who met the requirements and were selected through the competition signed contracts with 12 beneficiaries who will start working in the positions of cooks, support staff and others.
Reintegration II inclusive workshops for children and young people are already underway in Dimitrovgrad, which gather a large number of interested people through programs of sports, educational, creative workshops as well as workshops for additional learning of the Serbian language.
The total value of the project for the municipality of Dimitrovgrad is EUR 89,040.00. Information about project activities, open tenders and more will be available on the website of the project www.reintegracija.net, but also on the Dimitrovgrad municipality, partner organizations and associations.
The project holder is the German organization ASB (Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund), the implementation partner is the Initiative for Development and Cooperation (IDC) from Belgrade, and the beneficiaries districts are Pirotski, Rasinski and Raški. The project is supported by the municipality of Dimitrovgrad and financed by the funds of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development BMZ.
