Civil society organisations (CSO) incubators are aimed at promoting CSO capacity building and enhancing productivity.
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 on the public policy process. This will enable the organisations (those that already work in target coalitions) to gain new resources, unite civil society experts and encourage their participation in the formation of local and national policy agenda, identify common issues and priorities and go to the government with constructive and strategic policy initiatives.
In the scope of the project sub-grants are/will be allocated to CSOs and CSO coalitions. They will be targeted at public policy development and will have tangible results in the 9 project target sectors: justice, human rights, public finance management, business, education, social sector: social inclusion of children with disabilities, agriculture, economy, energy.
