The Online Training Platform for CSOs was created by the “Armenian Lawyers’ Association” NGO within the framework of the EU-funded “Commitment to Constructive Dialogue” (CCD) project. The platform is currently operated by the Constructive Dialogue Network of Armenian CSOs, which was created under the same project as well, and which currently unites 14 sectoral coalitions with approximately 250 CSOs.
The training module on the Internal Capacity Building of the CSOs/CSOs Coalitions includes the following 10 topics:
- Strategic planning of CSO/CSOs’ coalitions;
- Self-assessment of CSO/CSOs’ coalitions;
- Financial Sustainability Subsystem of CSO/CSOs’ coalitions;
- Governance Subsystem of CSO/CSOs’ coalitions;
- Programs and Services Subsystem of CSO/CSOs’ coalitions;
- Human Resources Subsystem of CSO/CSOs’ coalitions;
- Management Subsystem of CSO/CSOs’ coalitions;
- Public relations subsystem of CSO/CSOs’ coalitions;
- Public Policy Monitoring and Improvement Program of CSO/CSOs’ coalitions;
- Integrity.
It should be noted that the platform also include educational materials related to the above-mentioned topics, including videos, texts, presentations, model templates for internal regulations and policies developed by experts for the beneficiaries of the platform.
Experts have developed a test quiz on each topic to test the effectiveness of the module. At the same time, the participant will be able to advance to the next subsequent topic only if he/she correctly answers at least 80% of the previous topic-control quiz. After passing all 10 training topics and answering to their control-quizzes, the participant will receive a certificate of completion of the online training module on the Internal Capacity Building of the CSOs/CSOs’ Coalitions.
It should also be noted that around 58 representatives from 53 CSOs and CSOs’ Coalitions from Yerevan City and marzes of Syunik, Shirak, Lori, Armavir, Ararat, Tavush, Gegharkunik and Aragatsotn participated in the first stream of the online training module on the Internal Capacity Building of the CSOs/CSOs’ Coalitions and received certificates of completion.
In addition, considering the current situation in Armenia and worldwide, this online training platform for CSOs will effectively serve to build the internal capacities of CSOs and CSOs’ coalitions, while also ensuring their continuing education.
CSOs that are interested in participating in the second stream of the Online Training Module on the Internal Capacity Building of the CSOs/CSOs Coalitions can apply by e-mail at [email protected], by 25 April, inclusive, indicating the name of the CSO and the participant’s name in Armenian and English.
