• Cash Flow Modelling
• Dairy Production
• Crop Production
• Vegetables Production
• Greenhouse Production, etc

Since the central task of the project is to create gender balance in the business area of NK, the training participants are women. The project provides easy access to credits, thus setting up new opportunities for women in rural areas. Training sessions designed specifically for women auditorium make a good floor for the establishment of a new business layer composed of women, who produce high value agricultural products and create favourable livelihood for their families.
