EU COVID-19 Solidarity Programme for the Eastern Partnership Standing Together

Programme title: COVID-19 Solidarity Programme 2020-2022 

On 15 July 2022, Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly-Vanadzor launched the project “Contribute to the adoption of procedures for a systemic response to pandemics in psychiatric institutions in Armenia” aiming to advocate for the introduction of a procedure for systemic action in the conditions of a pandemic in psychiatric institutions so as to contribute to the human rights of persons receiving treatment and care.

The project grant was provided by the Netherlands Helsinki Committee as a result of the call for proposals in the frame of “COVID-19 in penitentiary institutions and psychiatric institutions” for civil society organizations of EU-funded COVID-19 Solidarity Programme 2020-2022 for Eastern Partnership Countries.

The aim of the programme is to support civil society organizations to respond to immediate and longer-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in the region. The programme is a part of the activities implemented by the Netherlands Helsinki Committee (in cooperation with Global Initiative on Psychiatry), jointly with People in Need and AFEW International.
