On 25 March 2011 the Armenian-European Policy and Legal Advice Centre in cooperation with the EU Advisory Group to the Republic of Armenia and International Centre for Human Development organised a conference on Participatory European integration.

The conference served as a platform ensuring the participation of civil society in the advancement of the process of Armenia’s European integration in cooperation with the government, the parliament and the European integration state coordination bodies of Armenia.  

Armenia’s European integration involves many actors from public administration and civil society. With the intensification of Armenian-European relations in the current Eastern Partnership framework, the participation of different stakeholders is constantly growing. Civil society is represented in the decision making concerning related reforms at various levels, both on the legislative and executive. The coordination between representative bodies of CSOs, however, still needs to be reinforced to promote better dialogue not only between civil society and relevant state bodies but also among civil society organisations themselves.
