On 14 June 2018, a training titled “Justice Sector: Need for the Improvement of the Service of Compulsory Enforcement of Judicial Acts” was held at the Yerevan CSO Incubator in the scope of the “Commitment to Constructive Dialogue” project funded by the European Union. 10 CSO representatives participated in the training.
Head of the project mentors’ group, justice and related sectors mentor Marat Atovmyan presented both the legislative and institutional problems of the sector of compulsory enforcement of judicial acts, the corruption risks based on the complaints received in practice, as well as the reforms implemented in the sector.
M. Atovmyan spoke about the clarification adopted by the Central Bank in 2015, a guide for all banks when it comes to compulsory enforcement of judicial acts: “This is positive in the sense that an integrated approach is established for all banks.”
After the end of the training, project lawyer-experts Mary Harutyunyan, Christine Ghukasyan, Tigran Danielyan, and Narek Yenokyan provided individual advice to the CSO representatives.
The “Commitment to Constructive Dialogue” project is implemented with the financial support of the European Union by a consortium of civil society organizations, which are the “Armenian Lawyers’ Association” NGO, Agora Central Europe o.p.s (an NGO from the Czech Republic), the “Armenian Center for Democratic Education-CIVITAS” NGO, the “International Center for Human Development” Public Organization, the “SME Cooperation Association” NGO and the Union of Communities of Armenia.
The overall objective of the project is to enhance the influence of CSOs and their coalitions (networks) on the public policy process. This will enable the organizations (that already work in target coalitions) to gain new resources, unite civil society experts and encourage them to participate in the formation of local and national policy agenda, identify the common problems and priorities and to apply to the government with constructive and strategic policy initiatives.
In the scope of the project, sub-grants will be allocated to CSOs and CSO coalitions, aiming at public policy development and achieving tangible results in the 9 target sectors: justice, human rights, public finance management, business, education, social sector: social inclusion of children with disabilities, agriculture, economy, energy.
