The project has helped to increase the capacity of social entrepreneurs in Romania to start and develop sustainable social enterprises that create jobs and incomes for disadvantaged groups. We have strengthened the role of social enterprises as promoters of positive change for an inclusive society through customized consultancy, trainings on various topics, experience exchanges in Switzerland and through the development of business plans. During the 3 years, social enterprises supported by NESsT created about 40 jobs. At the same time, the social enterprises have provided opportunities for generating sustainable income for 60 small farmers, beekeepers or craftsmen by purchasing the products and reselling them at the urban market.
