“We have submitted a project, which should strengthen the civil society organizations. We had selected justice, business and education sectors as targets of our project, but after discussions and consultations with the EU we decided to expand the scope of the sectors and currently the issue of six additional sectors is under the discussion. It is expected that through discussions with the actors of justice sector and raising the problems that exist in the sector the issues of the sector would be identified. After that the scenarios for the solution of the problems would be developed. Further, the expert discussions will identify the main realistic scenarios around which the concepts and the action plan for their solution will be elaborated,” Mr. Zadoyan said.
