However, the priority program objectives for 2023 are: · Protection of human rights and promotion of tolerance; · Conflict resolution; and · Advancing equity and inclusion of ethnic minorities and LGBTQ+ populations, gender equality; and Women's empowerment. All projects should explain how the proposed activities impact Armenia's democratic development and further the long-term goals of the organization.

Proposals focused primarily on training or capacity building will not be considered unless the training will lead to concrete, measurable outcomes. Collaborative projects between partnering NGOs are strongly encouraged.
