In 2016, social media continued to experience several changes that require marketers to take notice. The first transition concerns the multitude of social platforms and the rise of chatting apps. The second transition has been changes in mobile and video usage. The third transition involves the integration of social features into online commerce and content websites, or the development of “social core”.
The increasing penetration and use of mobile, has turned messaging apps into an important type of social networks. In 2016, 27% of the population accessed social media from mobile devices – 1.97 billion people. In 2017, 34% of the world’s population, or 2.55 billion people, use social media on their mobile phones (+30% YoY). Messaging apps are very popular among younger users, with Snapchat the most-used social media platform among 12 to 24-years-olds.

This document discusses the problem of plagiarism at universities in Armenia and identifies contributing factors and measures to address it. There is currently no standardized policy on plagiarism and universities do not have procedures for sanctioning it. Additionally, traditions discourage independent writing, such as low expectations for papers, ineffective supervision, and repetition of broad thesis topics year after year. To unravel this issue, measures are proposed like educating students on plagiarism, adopting formal plagiarism policies, making assignments more argumentative and specific, improving supervision, and addressing the root causes beginning in secondary school.

The full data is available online for open access and analysis.
NGO Sustainability and Community Development Mechanisms in Armenia.Isabella Sargsyan
The document summarizes research on sustainability mechanisms for NGOs and community development in Armenia. It evaluates programs run by the Eurasia Partnership Foundation aimed at strengthening organizational capacities of NGOs and community organizations. The research found that while some NGOs had improved governance and strategic planning, most lacked sustainable funding sources beyond grants. NGOs recognized the need to improve financial sustainability through social enterprises, fundraising, and diversifying funding but faced challenges with skills and supportive legislation. Leadership quality significantly impacted sustainability, but skills were not consistently institutionalized. Overall, capacity building was needed for NGOs to provide effective community services and develop partnerships critical for long-term sustainability.
In summer 2008, CRRC teams in Armenia and Azerbaijan held focus groups in Armenia and Azerbaijan, respectively, and produced a report on public attitudes toward and trust in the media, especially, regarding Armenia-Azerbaijan relations. This is the presentation conducted in Yerevan, Armenia.
The document provides a summary of Eurasia Partnership Foundation's (EPF) work in Armenia from 1992 to 2009. It discusses EPF's establishment, key programs and initiatives over the years in areas such as small business support, regional media, anti-corruption efforts, youth programs, and work on Armenia-Turkey and Armenia-Azerbaijan relations. It also outlines EPF's strategy, funding sources, and core values like building trust across borders and promoting freedom of expression.
The survey found that 22% of alumni from Armenia's elite schools had migrated. The majority of migrants were in Russia (50%) and the US (30%). Migrants were generally well-integrated in their host countries, while non-migrants in Armenia were less satisfied with their economic situations and earnings. Over half of non-migrants had considered migrating, and over half would migrate if given the opportunity. Both migrants and non-migrants were skeptical about social and economic conditions in Armenia. The government of Armenia should implement reforms to attract educated elites to return and change negative perceptions of developments in the country.
The Caucasus Research Resource Centers program (CRRC) is a network of resource, research and training centers established in the capital cities of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia with the goal of strengthening social science research and public policy analysis in the South Caucasus.
A partnership between the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Eurasia Partnership Foundation (EPF), the program’s outcomes are to increase the accessibility of high-quality research resources, to strengthen capacity and, to increase the dialogue and collaboration between social science researchers and policy practitioners.
Since December 2008 Eurasia Partnership Foundation is implementing “Institutionalizing Freedom of Expression in Armenia as a right enjoyed by the general public and upheld by the State” project. The project is funded by British Embassy in Yerevan and USAID.
As a part of the project a qualitative sociological research on perceptions of Armenian society towards Freedom of Expression (FoE) and Censorship has been carried out in Yerevan and three regions of Armenia, through focus group and in-depth interviews. In particular the research:
• Finds out the perception of the society on FoE, the reasons and ways of restriction/self-restriction of expression, desirable areas and boundaries of FoE.
• Presents the state of censorship/self- censorship and obstacles of FoE in different areas (NGOs, Mass Media, arts, sciences, etc.).
• Presents suggestions for improving the state of FoE in Armenia targeted to different social institutions.
Findings and suggestions reflected in the research are applicable for wide spectrum of professionals, representatives of the government, local and international public and private organizations.

Migration Resource Centers were established in Armenia to assist labor migrants and their families. The centers provide services like advising on migration policies, increasing awareness of labor rules in host countries, job training, small business assistance, and helping migrants find employment. Several success stories showed how the centers helped migrants find legal work, get compensated after being denied contracts, and start new businesses in Armenia. However, Russia recently reduced its foreign labor quotas, which may increase the number of returning migrants and make it harder for them to find jobs in Armenia. The centers will need to strengthen returnee reintegration efforts like skills training and job fair programs.
The document discusses the establishment and impact of Youth Banks in Armenia. Youth Banks were created to address issues young Armenians faced such as lack of employment, access to education, and motivation. The Youth Banks selected committees of young people to review project proposals and fund those that addressed community needs. Over time, the Youth Banks funded 20 community projects, provided skills training to young volunteers, and helped many volunteers gain employment. The Youth Banks have had a positive impact on rural communities across Armenia and empowered young people to become leaders in their communities.
