In Armenia, about a quarter of the population lives below the poverty line, and in the project regions nearly half are affected. Many rural households without gas connections rely mainly on wood and dung for heating. Investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy can significantly improve living conditions, reduce costs, and protect the environment.

The project supports regional companies offering products and services in energy efficiency and renewable energy – through training, promotional materials, and advice on technology, quality, and business management. On the demand side, awareness-raising measures highlight the benefits of investments in energy efficiency, nature conservation, and sustainable development. A key focus is the financing of energy efficiency measures: vulnerable households receive grants and technical advice to enable their own investments.

Task
The aim of the project is to support vulnerable, female-headed households in the target regions of Gegharkunik, Shirak, Syunik and Tavush in investing in technological solutions for energy efficiency and renewable energies. This should significantly reduce energy costs and protect the climate by reducing the consumption of firewood and dung.
