О ПРОГРАММЕ: 

“Economic and Social Participation of Vulnerable Displaced and Local Populations in the South Caucasus” (EPIC) regional programme is implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH with the commission of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) under the Special Initiative - Tackling the Root Causes of Displacement, Reintegrating Refugees (SI Displacement) since 2017. To reach its aim of improving the economic and social participation of vulnerable displaced persons, refugees and members of the local population in the South Caucasus EPIC project intervenes in the following 5 fields of action:
a) Capacity development of state and non-state actors, in particular of host communities, to promote the economic and social participation of vulnerable displaced persons, refugees, refugee-like population, and the local population;
b) Fostering income opportunities of vulnerable displaced persons, refugees, refugee-like population, and members of the local population, especially women and young people;
c) Improvement of economic perspectives of vulnerable displaced women, refugee women, refugee-like women, and women of the local population, with and without disabilities;
d) Increasing the opportunities for participation of vulnerable displaced persons, refugees, refugee-like population and members of the local population, especially young people and women, and their organizations in their communities;
e) Improvement of capacities for dialogue among state and non-state actors and vulnerable displaced persons, refugees, refugee-like population and the local community.
All five objectives target especially women, young people and people with disabilities. Throughout all project activities, participation and empowerment of women and youth is a priority which is also reflected in the programme’s indicators. This is both applicable to the economic and social empowerment, giving it a cross-cutting character of great relevance across all project’s components. Therefore, activities under the social participation component of the project will be implemented in close cooperation with the implementation of economic activities.
