  • IOM Azerbaijan conducted monitoring visits to Guba, Gusar, Khachmaz, Lankaran and Zagatala regions within the framework of the project "Community Resilience to Vulnerabilities (CRV) Activity" implemented with the financial support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

During the visits, the supported micro-entrepreneurship activities were reviewed, the beneficiaries were provided with basic safety items, and PPEs (Personal Protection Equipment) – such as gloves, facemasks, dust masks, eyeglasses, safety shoes, first aid kits, fire extinguishers, and at the same time they were given initial instructions on occupational safety. 

IOM Mission in Azerbaijan implemented CRV Activity jointly with the State Committee on Religious Associations with a financial support from USAID Azerbaijan since 2017. The aim of the project was to increase socio-economic well-being of members of vulnerable communities. In the framework of the CRV project micro-small business trainings were organized and selected business initiatives based on the evaluation of the submitted business plans were financed to support income-generating initiatives of the members of target communities in regions to address their need and increase their resilience.
