THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Azerbaijan, a former Soviet republic, has expressed interest in replicating the Kudumbashree model in that country.
Preliminary discussions have begun for a possible partnership between the Caucasian republic and the National Resource Organisation wing of Kudumbashree. A team from Kudumbashree will visit Azerbaijan in October for a preliminary study and will then prepare a blueprint for a possible tie up.
The Caucasian republic has evinced interest primarily in the management of micro enterprises and business ventures of women in non-agricultural sector, a release from Kudumbashree said.
