EU NEIGHBOURS. The Czech Foundation People in Need (PIN) is launching a call for proposals for grants to Armenian civil society organisations (CSOs) that both address COVID-related health and socio-economic needs of vulnerable groups, and enable them to continue supporting their usual constituents.
This call is part of the regional ‘EU COVID-19 Solidarity Programme for the Eastern Partnership 2020-2022’ programme, funded by the European Union and implemented by PIN, which aims to support civil society organisations (CSOs) in responding to the immediate and longer-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in the region. Throughout the programme, PIN will work with CSOs that support vulnerable households, including elderly people, minorities, youth, and women, and migrants/work migrants․
Proposed projects should demonstrate an understanding of the challenges faced by these vulnerable communities, including remote rural ones and people displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh. Successful proposals will suggest sustainable and long-term mechanisms for economic recovery, social and psychological services, and education.
This call for proposals is open to non-profit-making civil society organisations with the status of a legal entity, established in Armenia. PIN will provide grants, each up to a maximum of 20,000,000 AMD. Each proposed grant project should not exceed 12 months.
