On October 4-5, 2016, Eurasia Partnership Foundation in cooperation with the Goris Press Club implemented a CSO Management School in Goris, Syunik region within the framework of CSO DePo. The theme of the school was “How to find resources and write successful proposals.” The participants of the school were 28 representatives from 16 CSOs located in Syunik, Vayots Dzor and Ararat regions, which, in addition to new knowledge and skills, helped to build a network of cooperation between NGOs from these three regions. Over the two days of the school, the experts representing EPF and GPC introduced to the participants some essential experience-based topics related to fundraising. This included types of donors and their priorities; communication with potential donors; reading and understanding requests for proposals; organization of fundraising, proposal writing and submission process; development of log-frames and budgets. The tools that the experts used during the school included introduction to the theme, discussion, and interactive group work.
Eurasia Partnership Foundation (EPF) is looking for highly qualified human rights professional to support EPF’s team in producing a comprehensive training Toolkit focusing on UN human rights mechanisms for CSOs, civic groups and university students. The Toolkit should provide practical assistance to the Armenian civil society in effective use of UN human rights mechanisms including submission of alternative reports to the UN Treaty bodies and UPR. The OHCHR produced practical guides for civil society, including a recently published practical guide “Civil Society Space and United Nations Human Rights System” also available in Armenian. This practical guide can be used as a basis for the Toolkit; however the Toolkit should also boldly highlight the local examples and best practices. The future Toolkit should also take into account the findings and recommendations of EPF’s 2015 study “Assessing the involvement of Armenian CSOs in the preparation of alternative reports for UN Treaty bodies and the UPR”. The language of the Toolkit will be Armenian.
