Terms of Reference for Mentorship Support for CSOs

The “Reinforcement of the Migration Management System in the Republic of Armenia” project aims to counter irregular migration to EU member states by ensuring successful integration of returnees and foreign nationals in the Republic of Armenia. This overall objective will be achieved through two specific objectives, namely: (SO1): To improve the capacity of the Government of the Republic of Armenia (GOAM) to manage inward migration to Armenia, and (SO2): To strengthen the capacities of local CSOs providing services to different migrant group.

Within the project, a call for subgrants was announced for Armenia’s civil society organizations (CSOs) for provision of social services to various migrant and refugee groups. The call constituted two schemes – LOT1 for the projects implemented by CSOs and LOT2 for the projects implemented by CSOs in close cooperation with state institutions. As a result, 19 projects are selected (11 under the LOT1 and 8 under the LOT2), that be implemented during August 2024 - February 2025. The majority of the selected projects aim at working with the forcibly displaced people from Nagorno-Karabakh as a target group. Several selected CSOs also aim to work with (returning) labor migrants and their families. The projects cover a wide geography throughout all regions of Armenia. The thematic fields of the projects range from social care for vulnerable groups (children, elderly, people with special needs), employment support, and vocational training, to psychosocial support and community integration.

Under this ToR, Mentorship Support will be provided to all the CSOs selected for the subgrant schemes.
