From theory to practice: non governmental organizations in southern Armenia trained to maintain and cooperate

By Julia Hakobyan

Several non governmental organizations (NGO) from the Armenian provinces of Vayots Dzor and Syunik completed today the second session of the Coalition building educational program organized by the Armenian Assembly of America, the League of Women Voters of the United States (LWVUS) and NGO Center Civil Society Development Organization. The sessions took place in Yeghignadzor, about 120 kilometers south of Yerevan.

Leadership, Coalition building and Advocacy are the main topics the NGOs discuss during sessions, which started in September. The training, which is presented through a series of focused coaching sessions, homework assignments and team building exercises is led by American lecturers, (as well as attended by Yerevan-based NGOs and journalists) while topics range from the basic skills of addressing the issue, to public presentation and coalition building and maintaining.

Very informative article. It’s an important job, to train NGOs in Armenia’s regions, to give them alternative ways of information and learning. Some might have different opinion on sense of such trainings (and even see some ulterior motives behind them), but in my opinion they have positive effect and we can only say thanks to their organizers. Just wish there would be more local trainees involved and fewer consultants from abroad.
