Potential for learning or transfer
The good practice may prove to be remarkable for the Regions, where it is justified to stimulate entrepreneurial attitudes and support people who want to start a business. The program is also focused on problems in the development of female entrepreneurship mainly due to social and cultural reasons. The project within the available resources eliminates the general barrier hampering entrepreneurship in the region - the lack of easily available funds for self-employment. The good practice will also be useful in regions where there is a high unemployment rate and in which residents have little entrepreneurial knowledge.
