ԱՇԽԱՏԱՆՔԻ ՆԿԱՐԱԳԻՐ՝ 
The DeaLoG Project of the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR), implemented by SALAR International and funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
The Project aims to support the government of the Republic of Armenia with decentralisation reforms and strengthening of local self-governments building on a longstanding history of local self-governments in Sweden and on the global cooperation experience, expertise and networks of SALAR International.
The Project is developed in cooperation with the Ministry of Territorial Administration and
Infrastructure (MTAI) and other government bodies, as well as in consultations with local actors and relevant representative organisations in Armenia.
The overall objective of the Project is to increase political and institutional awareness, commitment, competence and trust among national and local stakeholders to advance decentralisation, manage the change processes and expand local self-government autonomy, responsibilities, capacities and accountability vis-a-vis citizens (women, girls, men and boys).
SALAR International’s work in Armenia consists of two areas of support:
1) Institutional framework for decentralisation with focus on political dialogue, advocacy and reform communication to advance evidence-based decentralisation reform
2) Fiscal decentralisation focusing on establishing a consensus about key concepts of fiscal decentralisation among all reform stakeholders, strengthening capacities of the actors at central and local levels on different aspects of management of public finances and fiscal decentralisation, developing models and tools for financing of decentralised functions.
The following strategies are used:
- strengthening political leadership and local governance reform by providing policy advice and advocacy support to the Ministry of Territorial Administration
- awareness raising about the decentralisation, its benefits, the principles of the European
Charter of Local Self-Governments and its meaning. providing mentoring, analytical and
advisory support to improve capacities of actors on central, regional and local levels. Support to the design and implementation of a more decentralised democratic governance system.
- supporting the creation and communication of horizontal and vertical cooperation and
consultation mechanisms and frameworks between relevant actors in the targeted local
government competence areas.
The Project is implemented in phases and its first implementation phase runs from September 2022 till end of February 2024.
