On 30 November 2018, a training-discussion of the monitors of the “Support to Probation” National Network took place in the scope of the “Commitment to Constructive Dialogue” project funded by the European Union. The future monitors from the member organisations of the network, who changed the suggested monitoring toolset in the format of a constructive discussion, participated in the event. The final version of the toolset will be presented during the next training which will be held on 10-15 January.
In order to organise the training, a working group has been created. Its members are: Tatevik Tadevosyan (Civil Society Institute), Armine Hovhannisyan (Family and Community), Marina Apresyan (Against Violation of Law).
The “Support to Probation” national network is implementing the “Step towards Just Armenia” sub-grant project in the scope of the “Commitment to Constructive Dialogue” project.
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.
