EU Bus Tour to Regions in Azerbaijan

Global objective: Raise awareness about the EU, its values and activities in Azerbaijan
Specific objectives:
1) Develop and implement large scale visibility and communication activities for the EUD, namely a one-week bus-tour to main urban centres outside of Baku: Ismayilli, Gakh, Zagatala and Sheki.
2) Design, implement, follow-up, monitor and ensure quality control of visibility/communication activities
These objectives are in line with the political committments in place between the EU and Azerbaijan: The adhesion of Azerbaijan to the Eastern Partnership in 2009 was a commitment from both sides to develop closer ties - the visa facilitation and readmission agreement in September 2014 a concrete sign that this process is moving forward. Subsequently the aim was to also inform the local populations of EU activities and the perspectives that these open for Azerbaijani target groups.
