Hovsep Khurshudyan, EaP CSF ANP Facilitator (Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum Armenian National Platform), presented the open letter-inquiry which he and Ms Lusine Hakobyan, CEPA Civil Society Platform Co-Chair sent to the Eurasia Partnership Foundation on 6 June, which has not received any response so far.
Open Letter
Dear Mr. Ter-Gabrielyan,
A guiding principle of donor organizations’ functioning in the civil society sector is transparency and accountability. That is also a preventive measure against possible conflict of interests, corruption risks and partisanship. Such kind of transparency is provided even by such organizations in Armenia, hich are being targeted by xenophobic and/or Russian controlled entities and individuals. In view of this fact, it is only staggering that while not being targeted by any of the above-mentioned parties, the Eurasia Partnership Foundation does not publish on its website details on funds it had received and distributed.
Therefore, we call on you to publicize
- A list of all individuals and entities, who have received funding from the EurasiaPartnership Foundation during the past ten years, grouping them in years of receiving those funds and indicating the name of the respective projects and the total sum of funds/grants awarded.
- A list of donors/benefactors who have financed the Eurasia Partnership Foundation over the past 10 years, indicating also the names of the programs funded.
