The Armenian Ministry of Labor and Social Issues adopted the “Code of Participatory Cooperation between RA Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs and Public Organizations”. The Code was developed by a cross-sector working group, led by Professionals for Civil Society NGO (PFCS) Armenia, and with the support of ECNL and its partner the Bulgarian Center for Not-for-Profit Law (BCNL).
The Code aims to set out the principles and procedure for sharing information, consulting and involving CSOs in processes of development of policies, laws and regulations. It also outlines a plan for assessment of the implementation of the Code.
Prior adoption of the Code, the Government approved the amendment to the Charter of Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs that officially defines and strengthens the cooperation between Ministry and Armenian CSOs. The amendment of the Charter was an important development as it set the ground for the adoption of the Code.
This activity is conducted under ECNL project “Strengthening the Legal Framewok for Citizen Action”, financed by the European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR).

Just Released! UNV Report: Laws and Policies Affecting Volunteerism Since 2001
UN Volunteers just published a global research study on trends and lessons in the development of supportive volunteerism policies and legislation developed by ICNL and ECNL. An overall review was conducted in 7 regions, complemented by country-specific case studies. The study analyzes considerations in drafting and implementing volunteerism laws and policies, and highlights the need to tailor them to specific local, national, and regional contexts.
Since the International Year of Volunteers (IYV) in 2001, governments, the UN system, civil society partners, and other stakeholders have increasingly recognized that volunteerism makes significant contributions to peace and development.
