The EU-funded ‘Partnership for Syunik: enhanced community-based social services’ project, implemented as part of the Resilient Syunik Team Europe Initiative, summarised its results at a closing event in Yerevan, held on 30 June.
The programme supported the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs in implementing sectoral reforms in order to develop a stable social services system in Syunik and increased the role of civil society organisations (CSOs).
Through the three years of the project implementation, nine types of community-based social services were piloted and delivered by 12 civil society organisations across Syunik and the municipalities of Sisian, Goris, Kapan and Meghri, directly benefiting more than 850 people.
“From social taxi services, elderly care to child day-care, rehabilitation and reintegration services, the initiative showed how local planning and strong partnerships can make social services more accessible, inclusive and sustainable,” the EU Delegation to Armenia said in a press release.
The project ‘Partnership for Syunik: enhanced community-based social services’ was funded by the European Union and implemented in cooperation with the Czech NGO ‘People in Need’, the ‘VINNET Goris’ Development Foundation and the charitable NGO ‘Armenian Caritas’.
