Near East Foundation

In November, the partners and subgrantees of Near East Foundation's STRIVE program, alongside representatives from the private sector and local authorities, participated in a transformative study visit to Brussels hosted by NEF Belgium. The visit focused on fostering cross-sectoral partnerships to address societal challenges through inclusive cooperation. Participants engaged with Belgian stakeholders involved in humanitarian responses explored successful collaborations between civil society, the private sector, and local authorities, and deepened their understanding of EU funding opportunities. The visit provided valuable insights into social entrepreneurship and inclusion strategies for women, youth, and people with disabilities. This experience expanded everyone's knowledge and sparked new ideas for future cooperation, paving the way for stronger connections and impactful initiatives in Armenia. Thank you to the European Union for co-funding the STRIVE project and to our local partners: Agate Rights Defense Center For Women With Disabilities NGO, Blejan, WINNET Goris, and the Youth Cooperation Center of Dilijan .
