Institutional support
The GTF-Initiative for Sustainable Growth Association was a beneficiary of institutional support from the National Foundation for Civil Society Development during the 2017–2020 period. This institutional support constituted a three-year program approved by the National Foundation, aimed at strengthening the organization's structure, hiring new staff, enhancing employee capacity to independently prepare and implement both national and European projects, and identifying new funding avenues to boost the economic competitiveness of the Republic of Macedonia by supporting a diverse entrepreneurship ecosystem that includes women and civil society. Through the implementation of this project, civil society gained direct access to information and strategic planning regarding the dialogue on economic competitiveness and the development of women's entrepreneurship.
