Promoting Social Inclusion and Self-Reliant Livelihood Activities in Armenia
Development Objective
The proposed Project Development Objective is to increase access to social assistance benefits and services, and provide self-employment support for about 11,000 extremely vulnerable individuals in selected regions in Armenia. The PDO will be achieved by strengthening the role of existing community and state (territorial) social workers as connectors between the families and available social assistance benefits and services and by providing entrepreneurship support to the FBP beneficiaries as a pathway to graduate out of the program. 200 state and community social workers (a separate group of project direct beneficiaries) will be provided with methodological support and capacity building to effectively implement the social case management in the project target regions.
