Number of Beneficiaries:     1.000 households (about 4.000 individuals)

(target beneficiaries: 1.200 Households – 4.800 beneficiaries)

Location: Shirak, Lori and Gegharkunik Provinces

Goal: Conflict-affected population from Nagorno Karabakh live in dignity in the areas of temporary displacement in Armenia

Description:

Specific objective: Conflict-affected people meet their basic needs.

Result: Conflict-affected people use in-kind assistance.

Armenian Caritas proposes to distribute one-time in-kind food and non-food items assistance to help vulnerable households displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh meet their priority needs while they figure out their next steps amidst the uncertain situation. In-kind assistance will lessen also the burden on the host families, who have been supporting displaced families since the conflict began.

In consideration of COVID-19 risks, Caritas will minimize in-person project events by combining project registration with the distribution of in-kind assistance.

As a CI member, Caritas adheres to and applies the CI Code of Ethics, Code of Conduct and Child and Vulnerable Adults Safeguarding Policy․

Caritas will ensure safeguarding and COVID-19 measures are mainstreamed throughout the project.
