Project goals and content
The overall goal of this project is to support organizations in Armenia and Moldova in establishing CE Hubs that will become independent drivers of cooperation, projects, and circular innovations in the long term. We are focusing on various areas and activities in order to achieve measurable results.
The project work covers the development phase of the CE hubs. Among other things, we are supporting the development of strategies and work plans for the CE hubs, the establishment of capacity building programs, and the implementation of pilot projects. In parallel, we are building a regional knowledge platform to enable the exchange of experiences and mutual learning across national borders.
