CEPPS in Armenia

CEPPS works directly with Armenia’s National Assembly, Government, the Central Election Commission, various political parties, universities, and civil society organizations (CSOs) to strengthen their capacity to address citizens’ needs in order to increase trust in democratic processes.  Together with these partners, CEPPS strives to foster participation throughout society in building an accountable and transparent democracy.

CEPPS provides guidance and support to Armenia’s electoral stakeholders as they continue efforts to improve all aspects of political and electoral processes and integrity. CEPPS offers lawmakers practical recommendations and international best practices to build consensus on enhancements of the electoral legal framework.  Similarly, CEPPS works with the Central Election Commission to implement best practices of electoral management. To inform and empower Armenian citizens to engage, CEPPS partners with advocates for increased inclusion of people with disabilities and with universities to offer innovative civic education.

Together with the Government and Parliament of Armenia, CEPPS increases the nation’s capacity for developing inclusive, data-based policy making, as well as enhancing strategic communications. CEPPS does this by offering its partners representative survey data, providing access to and building expertise with research tools, organizing Government and National Assembly staff schools, as well as assisting them in developing and implementing policies and procedures for constituency consultation and engagement. For example, CEPPS organizes committee hearings in Yerevan and in the regions, assists the Government and Parliament staff as they develop public communication strategies for human rights, and provides them relevant policy sector specific data.

CEPPS also focuses on strengthening Armenia’s Parliament by assisting various factions as they try to improve constituent outreach, communications, and policy development work.  CEPPS provides tailored assistance to political parties represented in and outside of parliament on strategic planning, outreach, and women and youth inclusion efforts.  We emphasize support for women parliamentarians to better ensure that they have the strategies and tools needed to succeed in politics.
