- Description
- The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs of Armenia embarked on a significant reform initiative to transition towards the ICF-based approach for disability assessment and eligibility rule, establishing 48 ICF Disability Assessment Centres (DACs) nationwide. Through peer-to-peer cooperation with experts mobilized by SOCIEUX+ from Greece and Cyprus, a Training of Trainers Manual was developed to implement the new methodology, alongside an e-learning course template for assessor training and certification. Staff at the DACs was trained to use the available test results and to better assign the correct IFC qualifier. A workflow tool was created to streamline administrative and scientific procedures at DACs, emphasizing the role of case managers and 86 trainee case managers were trained to support assessment committees effectively, managing e-code information and enhancing vignette development quality. Paramedics and active case managers participated in workshops to optimize test usage and appointment scheduling for clients to be assesed. This comprehensive approach enhanced the operational efficiency and quality of disability assessment services in Armenia.

- Description
- This was the first request that the Ministry of Social Development of Armenia submitted to SOCIEUX+, in view to adopt a new methodology for disability assessment that be based on functional capacities rather than on purely medical conditions. In the course of four activities, managed by Greek expert’s teams, the partner accomplished the preparatory work required for the adoption of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and constructed most of the necessary components (scales and formulas) for a reliable, fair and suitable disability assessment system. Experts showcased the practical implications of the transition towards the ICF-based approach, then presented the processes and tools pertaining to disability assessment, and finally set up a strategy for communicating policy changes to relevant constituencies. An Armenian delegation, led by the vice-Minister of Social Development, visited assessment centers in Cyprus.
