Granting Opportunity from the Democracy International: The Protection, Inclusion, and Empowerment Activity in Armenia
The Protection, Inclusion, and Empowerment Activity in Armenia, implemented by Democracy International (DI) and funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), aims to improve the lives of disadvantaged and marginalized populations through needed legal-regulatory framework changes, improved services, and intensified cooperation between the government and non-governmental actors to address the needs of vulnerable and marginalized groups.
Given the multifaceted nature of the Activity's goals and the complexity of the issues involved, DI is determined to perform a comprehensive PEA and Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) assessment between July and September 2023.
The PEA and GESI assessment combines analytical tools, such as power mapping, stakeholder analysis, systems thinking, and behavioral science, to inform programming that can catalyze long-lasting change. The study will cover 10 marzes and Yerevan; data should be collected from each marz and within Yerevan.
