Celebrating the progress of WINNET Armenia: empowering women through collaboration and learning
27 October 2023
The coordination meetings of WINNET Armenia Network of Women Resource Centers members serve as an excellent platform for network members to exchange successes and challenges among themselves. The coordination meeting held on 20-22 October 2023 with the support of the UNFPA Armenia country office was organised within the EU-funded "FUTURE TODAY: Empowering women, youth and children for deepening democracy in Armenia" project.

"For over 15 years, coordination meetings have been an essential component of the Women Resource Centers Network's operations. It's heartening to note that these centers increasingly collaborate on joint programs, leveraging each other's capabilities and pooling available resources," stated Nvard Lhachatryan, a Board Member of the WINNET Armenia Network of Women Resource Centers.
Every coordination meeting comprises three crucial elements: exchanging experiences, enhancing capabilities, and planning future actions.
During the meeting, the three newly established centers under the “Future Today” project showcased their advancements and achievements within the initiative. They studied the attributes of the more seasoned centers within the network, deliberated on potential new joint programs, and shared ideas for collaboration.
During the stress management session facilitated by Lilit Baghdasaryan, coordinator of the psychological service of the Center of Psychosocial Regulation, the participants examined the impact of work-related stress and professional burnout. They discovered methods of managing and overcoming stress.
"At this coordination meeting, we witnessed the collaboration and knowledge sharing. We didn't just celebrate our achievements within this project, but most importantly, discussed how to strengthen further our commitment to empowering women in Armenia," says Eduard Israyelyan, Future Today Project Manager at UNFPA Armenia.
The coordination meeting served as an excellent opportunity to develop ideas of engaging human-interest stories for WINNET Armenia's official website, established through the “Future Today” project.
"The "Future Today" project provided a solid foundation for our work. Our coordinated efforts and achievements have been made with the support and guidance of UNFPA and this project. We have the confidence to continue our efforts even after the project ends," highlighted Hasmik Ghalumyan, Director of WINNET Berd, founded with the support of the "Future Today" project.
The coordination meeting concluded with the discussion of further tasks and actions aimed at the stability of the centers.
