Empowerment and improved knowledge and skills of Artsakh refugees to start agricultural entrepreneurship

The project topic is professional empowerment of internally displaced persons from Artsakh, so that they acquire (or improve) practical skills and knowledge to work in agriculture and start their own business.  The result is: at least 40 refugees have started their own agricultural enterprise; training and information events have reached at least 250 refugees; in addition, the network operates among small agricultural entrepreneurs in Armenia (including refugees). The training groups are divided between 3 topics: beekeeping, poultry farming/egg production; cultivation of berries/herbs, and 40 micro-subsidies are issued in each topic. There will also be a study trip to Estonia and the final conference, with the participation of other international donors/projects. 

The partner of the project is the association Organic Armenia and teh Organic Estonia association.
