The consortium of Netherlands Helsinki Committee (NHC), Penal Reform International (PRI), Social Justice (SJ) NGO and Civil Society Institute (CSI) NGO has launched a “Justice Reforms Monitoring in Armenia” (JUREMONIA) project with the financial support of the European Union.
This project will support civil society organisations (CSOs) to strengthen the role of civil society in Armenia in promoting human rights and judicial reform and become an effective force.
Objectives
- The Consortium (NHC, PRI, SJ NGO, CSI NGO) seeks to provide grants within the JUREMONIA project for CSOs active in work with the different vulnerable groups, community social work, crisis intervention programs. With the grants, the project aims to support the integration of people forcibly displaced from Nagorno Karabakh in their new communities of residence. CSOs should assess the vulnerability and needs, provide social, psychological and legal services.
- Only one grant will be awarded to CSOs for this call. The selection committee will strive to ensure that all objectives of the call are covered by the grants. Preference will be given to proposals that have a wide geographical reach and engage beneficiaries from vulnerable groups forcibly displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh, such as women, children, persons with disabilities, people subjected to criminal justice system i.e. victims, perpetrators etc.
- The goal of the project is supporting the adaptation of the people forcibly displaced from Nagorno Karabakh in their new communities of residence through the provision of crisis services as mentioned above. One of the goals of the project is also to find out to what extent the problems of people forcibly displaced from Nagorno Karabakh are adequately addressed by the measures taken by the state. In addition, it is important to raise the awareness of people forcibly displaced from Nagorno Karabakh about their rights.
- In this regard, the socio-psychological rehabilitation of forcibly displaced persons from Nagorno Karabakh is also of great importance, without which the adaptation process cannot be successful. That is why the provision of social and psychological services is considered a priority.
- Based on the fact that rehabilitation programs are longer and involve the provision of various services, co-financing and in-kind contribution is encouraged.
- Within the framework of the project, the protection of the rights of forcibly displaced persons and their families from Nagorno Karabakh is of particular importance.
- Grantees are expected to provide financial and narrative reports. Templates and more details regarding the reporting requirements will be provided in the contract with the grantee.
