Commitment to Constructive Dialogue

Public Discussion-Seminar Dedicated to the Draft Laws on Making Additions and Changes in the RA Laws on NGOs and Foundations and the Problems Arising

On 9 November 2018, at 10:00AM, a public discussion-seminar will be held at Ani Hotel, Nairi Hall (Yerevan, 19 Sayat Nova). The event is dedicated to the draft laws on making additions and changes in the RA Laws on NGOs and Foundations presented by the State Revenue Committee for public discussion and the problems arising.  

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.
