BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 3
By Tamilla Mammadova - Trend:
The European Union (EU) has announced three new projects to help vulnerable groups of the population cope with the COVID-19 crisis in Georgia, Trend reports referring to the EU.
As reported, the new projects, which will support victims of domestic violence, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and persons with disabilities across Georgia, will be implemented by Women’s Information Center, Coalition for Independent Living, and IDP Women Association "Consent".
The projects will be implemented country-wide by experienced and dedicated civil society organizations with whom EU look forward to working closely in the coming months, said the report.
The projects were selected as part of a rapid response call for proposals announced by the EU to assist with the COVD-19 crisis. They were part of wider support to vulnerable groups measures included in the first support package the EU provided to Georgia on COVID-19.
“The EU has stood by Georgia from the very beginning of the crisis and will continue to do so. The well-being of persons especially vulnerable to the pandemic will remain a particular focus area as we develop our COVID-19 related assistance to Georgia,” noted EU Ambassador to Georgia Carl Hartzell.
