Armenia is a country in transition surrounded by ongoing regional conflicts, where civil society organizations play an active role in addressing social, economic and political challenges. Commit Global is taking an active part in supporting work towards building a more inclusive and resilient society.

Developed over the years in collaboration with local actors and specialists, Commit Global sets out to expand its critical humanitarian and civic infrastructure by adapting a range of solutions to meet Armenia's unique needs. These tools include user-friendly, trauma-informed and multilingual platforms and mobile applications designed to address gaps in legal aid, mental health support social protection and technical support. By raising awareness, contributing to the resilience and preparedness of the population and supporting individuals to exercise their rights, Commit Global connects people with essential information and specialized services, as well as building capacity of NGOs to deliver sustainable and meaningful impact.

Armenia has made significant progress in achieving universal education, access to maternal health services and establishing a legal framework governing equality and protection of women’s rights. Yet, challenges persist in areas such as reproductive and sexual health, economic empowerment, political participation and unpaid care work. Numerous gaps in victim assistance continue to limit the full realization of gender equality. For example, displaced women face heightened protection risks such as gender-based violence (GBV), sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA), human trafficking and labor exploitation. Individuals with lived experiences of disabilities, those residing in rural areas and people from ethnic minority backgrounds encounter additional barriers in access to critical information and quality services. The full extent of gender-based violence against women remains unclear since stigmatization often leads to underreporting.

Commit Global is in the process of replicating an already running successful project in Romania, informative and case management platform - Women Center, which offers detailed guidance on available services and resources related to women’s health and gender-based violence (GBV). The platform addresses a range of issues, including psychological and emotional abuse, exploitation, physical violence, abortion, miscarriage, trafficking and labor exploitation. The confidentiality features enable anyone to seek support safely and privately. By removing physical barriers and fear of judgment, Women Center helps regain control over health, safety and social support. 

Women Center for Armenia is accessible in Armenian language. This initiative builds on the efforts of Armenian Progressive Youth, an NGO aiming to develop social leadership skills and a sense of civic responsibility among young people in Armenia. Commit Global also works with Safe YOU, a multi-stakeholder mobile application and platform designed to empower and protect women and girls from violence in revising the content. 

Armenia’s healthcare infrastructure struggles to adequately address conditions such as depression, anxiety and substance abuse. A predominant focus on inpatient care leaves hospitals as one of the few avenues for support, while limited funding and a shortage of professionals exacerbate the crisis. The stigma surrounding mental health issues further reinforces a traditional tendency to prioritize physical health. Commit Global is working to bridge this gap by providing accessible, technology-driven solutions that support mental health care.

PTSD Help is a free, self-help mobile app available for both Android and iOS devices, designed to help users manage symptoms related to trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The app has been originally developed by the The Department of Veterans Affairs, a department of the US federal government offering education opportunities and rehabilitation services for veterans and members of their families. Commit Global has been granted access to the source code for adapting the solution further, and is currently developing an open-source and localized version in collaboration with the Armenian Progressive Youth.

The app is tailored for individuals seeking self-help, engaging in care work or wanting to learn more about mental health. Key features include coping strategies, brief assessments, psycho-education, calming exercises, self-evaluation tools and guidance on accessing emergency support, if needed. Personalization options ensure the app meets the unique needs of each user, making it a comprehensive and accessible resource that complements specialized mental health assistance.

Navigating complex legal systems can be a challenging journey. The process of accessing fundamental rights such as education, employment and housing often requires clear guidance and support. In Armenia, these challenges are heightened by factors like unfamiliarity with local laws and the high cost of legal services, making it difficult to access justice.

The Human Rights for and with Refugees is a project focused on creating digital tools designed to provide economic migrants and refugees with reliable information about their legal rights and timely access to services. Funded by the EU Delegation to Armenia, the project is led by the Democracy Development Foundation in collaboration with the Estonian Refugee Council and the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Women in Armenia.

As part of this initiative, Commit Global is contributing to the development of a localized version of Law Made Simple - an online platform that simplifies complex legal provisions. The platform will be available in Armenian, English, and Russian. The project will help increase awareness among displaced communities and the general population about legal frameworks, as well as their rights and obligations.

Website Factory: NGO is a tool for creating websites that is tailored to the specific needs of non-profit organisations. It is a free platform that makes it possible to create and maintain fully accessible websites for free, without a single line of code!

The platform features an intuitive Website Factory Dashboard, which allows users to create, edit, and manage their websites independently. The dashboard is fully available in Armenian, in addition to 18 different languages, including Arabic, Bosnian, Croatian, Dutch, English, French, Georgian, German, Greek, Italian, Montenegrin, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Turkish, and Ukrainian. Commit Global provides tutorial webinars and step-by-step video tutorials in English and Georgian, ensuring that NGOs of all technical skill levels can successfully leverage the platform's capabilities.

Website Factory: NGO eliminates the financial burden of hiring developers or paying for costly website-building software. For small and under-resourced NGOs, it addresses the challenge of limited technical expertise within their teams. The platform rolls out automatic updates, ensuring access to the latest features and improvements. By enabling the creation of accessible, inclusive, and user-friendly websites, it boosts an NGO’s credibility and makes it easier to attract donors, partners and volunteers. Commit Global deploys Website Factory in areas where NGOs have a stake in enhancing their digital presence, expanding their reach, and operating more efficiently. 

Civic Tech 911 is an on-demand tech support service for NGOs. It helps organizations solve tech problems, streamline processes, and improve efficiency—just like having an in-house IT department. Since many NGOs do not have dedicated tech staff, Civic Tech 911 provides expert support for any tech-related needs, from troubleshooting to setting up tools and improving digital strategies. Support is available in English, Ukrainian, Romanian, Georgian, Turkish and Italian through 1-hour consultation sessions. In order to book a consultation session, an NGO needs to provide details about the issue they are facing, including the context, how it affects the organization, and any relevant information (such as legal context or similar examples). Once the details are submitted, NGO’s choose a time slot that works for them. Civic Tech 911 is available to any NGO, in any country, Monday to Friday. Sessions can be scheduled with a 48-hour notice.
