On 6 May 2020, an online seminar was organised for the Azerbaijani NGOs that received grants to support the rehabilitation and reintegration of ex-offenders.

The participants discussed the modalities and practical challenges of the organisation of vocational training and provision of business mentoring to the ex-offenders.

The online seminar prepared the selected NGOs to implement the grants effectively. The work of the NGOs will be monitored by the CoE.

This activity was organised within the framework of the Joint Programme – “Further support to the Penitentiary Reform in Azerbaijan - 2” (SPERA 2), co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe and implemented by the Council of Europe.
