ՄԱՆՐԱՄԱՍՆ ՆԿԱՐԱԳՐՈւԹՅՈւՆ՝

Economic and Social Participation of Vulnerable Displaced and Local Population in the South Caucasus (EPIC) is a regional South Caucasus project, commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). In Armenia the project was launched in October 2018.

The project serves the following objectives:
- improve the overall framework conditions in the country for economic and social integration of vulnerable displaced and local populations through strengthening capacities of state and non-state actors;
- increase income opportunities for the target group, especially for women and young people, through increasing their employability skills and improving business development opportunities for them;
- create new economic perspectives for vulnerable displaced women, refugee women, women in refugee-like situation and local women;
- empower the target group, especially youth and women, and their organizations to promote change in their communities;
- strengthen capacities for gender-, inclusion-, context- and conflict-sensitive dialogues between state and non-state actors and the target group.

GIZ within Economic and Social Participation of Vulnerable Displaced and Local Population in the South Caucasus (EPIC) announces a call of proposals on Enhancing Women’s Economic Opportunities.

The Goal of the proposal is to enhance economic opportunities of displaced and local women residing in the regions of Armenia. The projects shall be implemented in a context and conflict-sensitive way in the following thematic areas (one project shall address one thematic area):

- Professional mentoring/coaching projects: Pair women with experienced mentors who provide guidance, support, and advice on career development.
- Short-term Training Courses: Provide focused training programmes on relevant skills such as computer literacy, computer basics, internet navigation, basic word/excel skills, presentation skills.
- Atypical jobs for girls: Opportunities for girls or young women to explore and pursue career paths or roles that are unconventional or non-traditional for their gender, challenging stereotypes and promoting gender equality in the workforce.
- New-age/non-conventional jobs: Employment opportunities that deviate from traditional career paths, often involving innovative roles, industries, or work arrangements such as freelancing, entrepreneurship, or jobs in emerging sectors like technology or sustainability.

Note: Priority will be given to the projects supporting the enhancement of economic opportunities of women living in regions and/or are focused on persons with disabilities.
Note: The implementation shall start in July 2024 and be finalized by October 2024.
