EU Strategic Communications in Azerbaijan in 2022-2025

Project Description
The overall objective is to increase awareness and better understanding of EU and its activities in Azerbaijan, to contribute to the improvement of public perception as well as to a better understanding of European policies and their impact through the regional and bilateral EU support and cooperation programmes in Azerbaijan for all its citizens. The purpose of the contract is the development and delivery of a positive and impactful communication approach, including the updated overarching communication strategy for 2022-2025 and campaign activities based around the EU's support for Azerbaijan.

its activities and their impact in Azerbaijan. Deliverables will include conducting targeted information campaigns, organising large-scale public events, developing relevant and effective communication products, including high quality social media materials and posts, managing EUDIGITOOL & its public interface (available at eu4azerbaijan.eu). In addition, the project team will provide regular guidance and feedback to the EU Delegation on how to maximise awareness and impact of its communication activities.
