The main idea of the event: In countries where military operations are taking place, with repressive regimes, as well as those that are undergoing post-conflict reconstruction or are suffering from financial crises, it is almost impossible for active citizens to achieve change alone. In these complex business environments, associations in broad and strong alliances to combat systemic corruption are playing an extremely important role. Collective actions are extremely important.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ALA representatives presented the success-stories of Armenia of collective action, mainly the anti-corruption reforms both in the public and private sectors implemented by the CSO’s Anti-Corruption Coalition of Armenia. They have also raised the topics of the regulations, the practice and the challenges of Armenia on the topics of the anti-corruption, Business Ombudsman’s Office and etc.<\/span><\/p>\n
