Work aimed to strengthen civil society organizations, strengthening their role in a number of areas is being carried out. Mr. Aleksander Shagafyan, President of the “Armenian CIVITAS” NGO said this at the meeting of the focus group in the scope of “Commitment to Constructive Dialogue” project
Participants presented their views on current issues in the field as well as about the operations aimed to promoting their empowerment.
One of the main problems is insufficient staff, as it is not always that the human potential is enough for the solution of this or that problem.
CSO representatives also underlined that often they are more concerned about the fundraising and as a result the undertaken policy is affected.
The “Commitment to Constructive Dialogue” Project is implemented with the financial support of the European Union by the “Armenian Lawyers’ Association” NGO in cooperation with its partners; Agora Central Europe o.p.s (an NGO from the Czech Republic), Armenian Center for Democratic Education-CIVITAS, “International Center for Human Development” Public Organization, SME Cooperation Association and Union of Communities of Armenia.
