“Norwegian Support to Western Balkans
Development - Norway for You–Montenegro” Project (Project) will contribute to a
more balanced socio-economic development in Montenegro, by increasing
employment opportunities, supporting social cohesion and improving local
infrastructure in least developed municipalities. The Norwegian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs (MFA) allocated NOK 15 million for this project implemented by
the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) during 24 months.
Project will achieve two outputs:
Output 1: Improved Access to
Employment

During its lifetime, the Project will
support self-employment, provide vocational training in accordance with the
Local Employment Action Plans, organise Calls for Proposals for projects of
local government institutions, civil society organisations and business support
organisations and support projects for improvement of living conditions and
