Labour Market Regulatory Authority's Regional Centre of Excellence and Capacity Building for Combatting Trafficking in Persons (RCoE) is a specialized centre that is responsible for developing regional-specific modules and training material on combating trafficking in persons and victim assistance, in addition to delivering sessions and workshops, regionally. RCoE targets first responders from government and non-government entities to the crime of trafficking in persons, as well as practitioners who deal with victims of trafficking in persons.

Labour Market Regulatory Authority provides grants to victims and potential victims of trafficking, through the Victim of Trafficking Assistance Fund. It is a financial assistance aid to ease the effort required in rebuilding their lives.

Two forms of aid can be availed:

- Monthly allowance to VOTs (whose presence is required by the court) and to PVOTs (who voluntarily cooperate with the Public Prosecution).

- Grant to aid with victims reintegration into society.

The Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) has initiated procedures for establishing an office for the protection of victims and witnesses in cases of Trafficking in Persons. The office will act as a focal point with the Public Prosecution's Office and will look into protection requests. It aims at protecting victims and witnesses from psychological and material damage throughout Public Prosecution procedures.

The National Human Trafficking Helpline "995" is the accessible and prominent point of contact that receives potential trafficking in persons cases, tip-offs, inquires and complaints from expatriate workers.

The principal objective of the project is to establish an Equity based CrowdFunding Platform overseen by AICA, used as a financing source for Armenian start-ups and acting as a bridge to the Armenian Diaspora. The equity finance feature is of especial importance given its originality for the Armenian market and its successful and impactful presence in several other leading entrepreneurship ecosystems.

By the end of the project the following more detailed goals will have been met:

Under the United Nations Migration Network (UNMN) Workplan 2022-2024, the Platform on Disaster Displacement (PDD) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) are working together to develop the Tool to Review the Implementation of the Commitments Related to Addressing Human Mobility in the Context of Disasters, Climate Change and Environmental Degradation – A Baseline Analysis Report Under the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.
