VISIT OF DELEGATION FROM UK DEPARTMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO ARMENIA
From May 12 to 14, the UK Department for International Development (DFID) mission visited Armenia for an annual review of the Armenia Regional Development Project (ARDEP), the U.S. Embassy reports. During the visit, the delegation met Vache Terteryan, the Deputy Minister of Territorial Administration, as well as visited Tavush and Gegharkunik marzes, where they met the regional administrations, local NGOs and the media. A meeting was held with the Head of the European Commission Delegation to Armenia, Ambassador Raul de Luzenberger. The meeting of the UK-Armenia Memorandum of Understanding Steering Committee summed up the overall activities of ARDEP, evaluated the work done so far and pointed to future steps. ARDEP aims to increase the capacity of regional administrations to develop and implement multi-sectoral development programmes that will contribute to poverty reduction in the regions. Regional development projects (RDPs), developed and implemented with ARDEP assistance by the regional administrations in Tavush and Gegharkunik, aim at forming an institutional base for poverty reduction, for which DFID has provided Armenia with £2 million (£1 million per marz). The most distinctive feature of RDPs is that for the first time the assessment of existing problems and setting the direction of policy uses the principle of listening to the views of the local population. In order to find the right way of reducing poverty it is important to understand its nature and roots, which are inevitably more visible for the population with the lowest living standards. The most important achievement of the Armenia Regional Development Project is the RDP monitoring and evaluation system implemented by the structural departments of regional administrations. In addition, in accordance with the principle of participation, an important role is assigned to the NGOs by involving them in the monitoring process. In the framework of the project, an important dialogue about the problems of regional development took place between the representatives of the governmental and non-governmental sectors. ARDEP is finalising its activities in 2008, and currently the question of implementing regional development projects in other marzes on the basis of ARDEP experience is being discussed. The implementation of this project is being undertaken by the Ministry of Territorial Administration through the development of the “Strategy for the institutional structure of planning and implementing regional development projects”, already presented for discussion to the Armenian Government, as well as through negotiations with the EU and other donor organisations, such as the EU “New Neighbourhood” project and Asian Development Bank projects.
