Results of the EU-funded “Civil Society actors as drivers of change in South Caucasus and Moldova” regional programme implemented by People in Need were summarised during a closing event held on 30 September. NorArar Education NGO, as a supported CSO throughout the Project, also presented the outcomes of our work, lessons learnt and reflected on challenges grassroots CSOs face in Armenia highlighting future opportunities for collaboration.
Silja Kasmann, the Deputy Head of the Cooperation Sector at EUD, noted, “The European Union remains strongly committed to further supporting civil society in Armenia. We are convinced that CSOs are vital to the attainment of rule of law, democracy, exposing human rights violations and advocating for the rights of the vulnerable groups”.
