It is no longer necessary to dwell on the description of the “Return to sources” initiated by the OFII (French Office of Immigration and Integration) and the AAAS, implemented by the FADF in Armenia for already 10 years. The main objectives of the project are facilitating the voluntary return to the country of origin of Armenian migrants who are in irregular situation in France and accompanying their social and economic reintegration on site.
The results of the year 2015 illustrate the success of the project of the beneficiaries with the funding for 48 new projects this year. While breeding remains the preferred field among the validated proposals, particularly in the regions, the last commission of 2015 also approved projects of a greenhouse or taxi driving. The number of people who benefited from the vocational training offer during the same period was 3.
This is an initiative launched by the FFAD in partnership with the charitable Foundation “Saint Sarkis” and the AAAS (Armenian Association of Social Aid) to accompany the Armenian Government in the implementation of its project of “Reform of Special Educational Institutions”.
In this context, the partners are committed to developing and submitting to the Armenian Ministry of Education a dossier that addresses the organizational, financial, methodological and legal aspects of the process of transforming the Republican Educational Complex N 1 into a School Resource Center. Improving educational services for children with behavioral disorders will also be in the main topic of their proposals.
A first discussion around the outline of the file and the topics took place on 27 November, in the premises of the educational complex N1. The meeting brought together all the actors in the field: representatives of the Ministries of Education and Science, Employment and Social Affairs, regional public service specialists for family, women and children, local and international NGO representatives in the area of child advocacy, which led to fruitful exchanges. The advances in the design of the final file will not take long!
The guide published in 2015 following the project “Strengthening Civil Society in Armenia” (CSRA) – launched by the AAAS (Armenian Association of Social Welfare) in October 2014 in partnership with the charitable Foundation “Saint Sarkis”, it was created by the FFAD and contains useful information for any civil society organization working in the country, especially the ones that are taking their first steps in the field.
The subjects covered topics as the design of the strategic plan, the project development, implementation and management. The Armenian version of the designed book is available free of charge at the FADF office in Yerevan and has also been distributed in the regions.
On April 12, 2016, after piloting the Child Protection Index in nine countries (Albania, Armenia, Bulgaria, Georgia, Serbia, Moldova, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Romania), a team of experts gathered again to improve its methodology and the indicators framework.
