On 10 September 2018, Marat Atovmyan, the Mentors Group Coordinator\/Justice Sector Mentor of the “Commitment to Constructive Dialogue” project funded by the European Union, gave personal advice on CSO public policy monitoring and improvement plans to 7 CSOs from the Yerevan and Gyumri CSO incubators.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During the working meetings, the sub-grants allocated to incubator CSOs through competition were discussed, in addition to the development of public policy monitoring and improvement plans by the participants’ own organisations, as well as the preparation of a brief executive summary of a sub-grant project on a single public policy included in their plans.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the personal advice session Atovmyan mentioned how an organisation’s public policy monitoring and improvement plan should be prepared, how problematic public policies should be presented in a more targeted manner. All the questions raised by NGO representatives were answered.<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cCommitment to Constructive Dialogue\u201d project<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is implemented with the financial support of the European Union by a Consortium of civil society organisations, which are the Armenian Lawyers\u2019 Association (lead organisation), Agora Central Europe (NGO based in the Czech Republic), the Armenian Centre for Democratic Education-CIVITAS, the International Centre for Human Development, the SME Cooperation Association and the Union of Communities of Armenia.<\/span><\/p>\n

The project aims to enhance the influence of civil society organisations (CSOs) and CSO coalitions\/networks on public policies in Armenia. This will allow organisations that are already working in sectoral coalitions to access additional resources, new groups of civil society experts to come together and to encourage them to place their causes on the local and national policy agenda, to identify common concerns and priorities and approach government bodies with constructive and strategic policy engagement initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\n

The project will provide sub-grants to CSOs and CSO coalitions for developing public policies and bringing significant changes in the 9 target sectors selected within the project, including those of justice, human rights, public finance management, business, education, and the social sector:\u00a0social inclusion of children with disabilities, agriculture, economy, and energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
