Background
Democracy International (DI) is implementing the USAID-funded Protection, Inclusion and Empowerment (PIE) activity, which aims to support disadvantaged and marginalized populations in Armenia through needed legal-regulatory framework changes, improved services, and intensified cooperation between the government and non-governmental actors to address the needs of vulnerable populations. It will do so through five interrelated components: 1.) Inclusion, protection and empowerment policy and legislative reform, 2.) Improved inclusion, protection, empowerment services for vulnerable and marginalized groups, 3.) Enhanced protection and inclusion of those affected by instability and violent hostilities/conflict, 4.) Outreach, communications, research regarding social sector policy and services, and 5.) Adaptive social protection to address the impacts of global or domestic crises. As part of this Activity, DI is supporting the Government of Armenia in strengthening its capacity to effectively conduct public outreach and communication regarding policy and legislative reforms; address research gaps on women, security, and gender; and access social protection services including strategic communication and outreach to vulnerable groups.
The Government of Armenia's 2023-2027 Comprehensive Program for the Social Inclusion of People with Disabilities envisages activities aimed at combating stereotypes and discriminatory attitudes towards persons with disabilities, as well as raising awareness of their rights. From June to September 2024, DI will support the Government of Armenia's implementation of an awareness-raising campaign on the rights of persons with disabilities. The campaign will highlight recent reforms affecting persons with disabilities, the work of the Unified Social Service, available services, and access to them. The campaign's messaging will target persons with disabilities, service providers, as well as the broader society.
The Government of Armenia is also implementing its 2023-2025 Counter Trafficking in Person (C-TIP) National Action Plan. The National Action Plan attaches great importance to the public awareness of forms of human trafficking, their dangers, and ways to avoid them. Specifically, the Plan includes awareness raising campaigns and public events aimed at changing the socio-cultural environment and perceptions of the broad strata of the Armenian population regarding TIP. From June to September 2024, DI will support the Government of Armenia’s implementation of a nationwide C-TIP campaign to highlight legal changes, the National Action Plan activities, consequences for TIP perpetrators, services for victims, and how to report TIP suspects. The campaign’s messaging will target children, youth, women, and displaced people at risk of TIP.
To perform these activities, DI is hiring a communication company to implement both the persons with disabilities and C-TIP awareness raising campaign.
