Promoting community-focused responses to insecurity and conflict in border areas of Armenia and Azerbaijan (Years 1-3)

The activity aims to raise awareness, both nationally and internationally, of the security concerns of communities living in frontline areas along the Armenia-Azerbaijan border and around Nagorny Karabakh, as well as empowering communities to add their voices to security provision and peace-building processes. It focuses on the one hand on enabling remote conflict-affected communities living on either side of the Armenian-Azerbaijani international border and near the Line-of-Contact to feed their experiences and safety and security concerns into security provision and peacebuilding processes, and on the other hand increasing support among Armenian and Azerbaijani governments for community-based approaches to security provision, including in the longer term, to cross-divide initiatives.
