Equalising opportunities for the less developed regions of Armenia due to implementation of development projects

The project is aimed at a group of up to 30 people representing 10-15 selected municipalities in Armenia. Due to the fairly centralized system and hierarchically subordinated administration, the central authorities in Armenia manage most of the EU and international funds. Using the experience gained during the transformation period and basing on 30 years of scientific research, CASE experts in cooperation with colleagues from the Economic Development and Research Center (EDRC) will develop and conduct a course for representatives of the local government in Armenia. The course will feature a presentation of Polish experience and specific solutions applied during the implementation of local government reforms in Poland, and will discuss the possibilities of using this  experience in Armenia.

The project will include the following tasks:

1. Developing the course content for representatives of municipalities in Armenia.

2. Technical preparation and implementation of the course for local authorities representatives in Armenia.

3. Tutoring for project participants.
