The International Organization for Migration (IOM) Mission in Azerbaijan continues to support local communities under the project "Community Resilience to Vulnerabilities (CRV) Activity" funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Within the framework of this activity, the project beneficiary from Gusar district has been provided with a potato harvester. This in-kind support will contribute to increasing productivity and quality in the potato harvest, as well as boosting the incomes of both the beneficiary and the community farmers.

IOM Mission in Azerbaijan implements Community Resilience to Vulnerabilities (CRV) Activity jointly with the State Committee on Religious Associations with a financial support from USAID Azerbaijan since 2017. The aim of the project is to increase socio-economic well-being of members of vulnerable communities. In the framework of the CRV project micro-small business trainings were organized to support income-generating initiatives of the members of target communities in regions. Then IOM Azerbaijan is financing selected business initiatives based on the evaluation of the submitted business plans.
