Job Fair in Sabirabad
On December 24, 2014, a Job Fair was held in Sabirabad to support the employment of rural women in the framework of “Promoting Rural Women’s Participation in the Social and Economic Life” project. The Job Fair was co-organized by the State Committee for Family, Women and Children’s Affairs for Family, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Azerbaijan, Executive Power of Sabirabad and the Employment office of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of Population. The Fair provided an opportunity for rural women to access the potential employers and introduce themselves, as well as to get a suitable job offer.

The overall objective of the project is to create an enabling environment for rural women and support their business and social activities. One of the goals of the project is to establish a mechanism to facilitate exchange and transfer of knowledge, teaching skills and information aimed at increasing the business opportunities of rural women. This mechanism, launched and operational since 2013, was designed as the regional Women's Resource Center (WRC) tasked to improve business and social opportunities.
This joint project has been designed in compliance with the State Programme on “promotion of opportunities for self-employment, entrepreneurship, the development of cooperatives among women” and on Poverty Reduction and Sustainable Development (2008-2015), as well as in line with the strategy on improving economic situation of the most vulnerable groups (young women, single mothers, disable women) stipulated in the National Employment Strategy of the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2006-2015. The project will support the Government of Azerbaijan and namely the Committee in fulfilling the obligations Azerbaijan undertook by the Millennium Development Goals (Goals 1 and 3), the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, as well as to implement the national measures in response to recommendation of the Committee of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.
