Ongoing Programs
Income Generation and Livelihoods
The main goal of the Income Generation & Livelihoods Program is to increase participatory development opportunities for displaced persons and to assist the community in reaching the self-reliance. Income Generation Program is a great chance for most vulnerable representatives of IDP communities to improve their socio-ecumenical condition for better lives in the future.
Children & Youth Protection and Development
The Children & Youth Protection and Development programme aims to support internally-displaced and local vulnerable young people to develop their leadership potential and their personal and professional skills in order to become socially active, self-reliant citizens. The programme serves to strengthen the social security net through the empowerment of youth; develop a vibrant civil society; and accumulate social capital in the community.
Advocacy and Protection of Internally Displaced Communities
This program is related to protection of both "new" and "old" IDPs accommodated in the private sector in villages in the Gori and Kareli regions. CHCA observes general situation and carries out needs assessment of IDPs in private accommodation.
Community Development
Community Development Program focuses on the regions of Kvemo Kartli (Gardabani) and Imereti (Tskaltubo). The project aims to encourage integration among IDPs and local populations, promote socio-economic development and public dialogue, and finally to contribute to the development of local governmental and community capacities.
