YEREVAN, 23.09.08. DE FACTO. The League of Women Voters (LWV), the
Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly) and the NGO Center, Civil
Society Development Organization (NGOC) are pleased to announce the
selection of six NGOs to participate in the launch of a Coalition
Building education program for local non-governmental organizations
(NGOs) in southern Armenia.
The goal of this program is to provide and expand on existing
skill sets for effective coalition and cross-sector coalition
building. Through a series of focused coaching sessions, homework
assignments, and team-building exercises, NGO representatives will
learn how to build and maintain coalitions and work together to
effectively advocate for positive change in their communities.
Selection Committee members met earlier this month to review
the applications. Six NGOs were selected. Each NGO will send two
representatives to participate in the three, two-week sessions to
be held in September, October and November, in Yeghegnadzor, in
Armenia’s Vayots Dzor Region. LWV Deputy Director Zaida Arguedas,
Assembly Country Director Arpi Vartanian and NGOC Trainer/Consultant
and Program Coordinator Hripsime Nazaretian, extend their thanks to
fellow Selection Committee Members from the Armenian Young Women’s
Association/Yerevan, Counterpart International, National Democratic
Institute and OSCE/Yerevan, for their active participation and support.
