Call for Proposal for Civil Society Organization(s) to implement gender-responsive interventions in the dairy value chain, with the aim of empowering women and enhancing dairy practices in the municipalities of Malësi e Madhe and Dibër

Objectives: The project aims to empower women in the dairy value chain across Malësi e Madhe and Dibër municipalities by increasing their access to knowledge, productive resources, and decision-making roles. The interventions will enhance productivity and milk quality through the adoption of Good Dairy Farming Practices, while strengthening infrastructure and systems for milk collection, testing, and traceability. The initiative aims to promote environmental sustainability and encourage youth participation in dairy farming to ensure long-term sector resilience. The intervention will also build women's technical and entrepreneurial capacities, foster leadership and engagement, and improve their access to modern equipment, financial literacy, and market linkages to become more visible and empowered economic actors within their communities.
