EU-funded project to provide new training opportunities for civil society organisations in Azerbaijan

On 10 June, a new EU-funded project to support modern, innovation driven, and sustainable civil society was launched in Azerbaijan. Implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), this €3 million project will help increase civil society organisations’ capacities to engage in policy-making processes, local development, and social innovation.

Over the next three years, the project will focus on women’s empowerment, supporting social enterprises and helping the most vulnerable to cope with the COVID-19 crisis. It will also support CSOs in new areas such as climate action, animal rights and support for innovation.

Support to CSOs will include organising training and developing learning materials, providing demand-driven mentoring, coaching and advisory support, organising peer learning and knowledge exchanges, networking, study tours, and a small grants programme.
