INVITATION TO COOPERATION

Creating enabling environment for reduction of gender based violence is one of the critical preconditions for building democratic and socio-economically sustainable society in Armenia. Throughout years of work, UNFPA has been one of the organizations implementing various activities and projects that advocate for women, improve women's health and expand their choices in life.

“Combating Gender Based Violence in the South Caucasus” (CGBV) project became the first ever regional wide-scale initiative supported by UNFPA and Government of Norway  in  order to help Armenia Azerbaijan and Georgia to effectively combat gender based violence.

However, expanding base for support to the project activities and promoting national ownership of the project results is crucial to ensure continuance of the future initiatives in the field of combating GBV. Sustainability and continuity of the activities in this field is a key to elimination of GBV phenomenon. It is obvious that overcoming this problem will require years of dedicated work. Thus, resource and community mobilization are crucial for the sustainability of all efforts and activities targeting GBV reduction in Armenia.

We invite potential donors and actors to join together efforts and resources for a better effectiveness and higher impact of activities through increasing cooperation and developing synergies in this field.

Together, we can make GBV an issue of Armenia’s past and contribute to building happier families and healthier society through jointly implemented activities and events.
