Since the beginning of the year, WRCA has been cooperating with the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), implementing the program “Support for resilient women’s civil society organizing in the context of multiple crises in Armenia.” Within the framework of the first year of the program, 8 CSOs were selected and provided with grants to support women and girls in Armenia, promote the agenda of gender equality in the post-war and post-pandemic situation. In order to develop the capacities of the selected CSOs, Women’s Resource Center selected 6 trainers, who conducted 17 training sessions for CSOs. The topics of the those sessions were: strategic planning, principles of strategic communication, work with the donor community, fundraising, social inclusion, effective management, information campaigns, work with the government, advocacy, gender analysis, gender-sensitive policies, etc. In November, a big conference is planned to take place to present the work done during the year and the results of this program. The program is continuous and in the future other CSOs will have the opportunity to get involved in it.
