SUMMARY
The Armenia Integrity Project (AIP) is a five-year program funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by Dexis Consulting Group. The aim of the project is to reduce opportunities for corruption and reinforce public demand for improved governance and accountability in Armenia through:
- Strengthening corruption prevention institutions and integrity systems.
- Supporting the implementation of specific legal-regulatory measures for corruption
prevention.
- And facilitating a collective citizen action approach to hold national and local level government entities engaged in corruption prevention mutually accountable.

GOAL

This RFA seeks to support initiatives that aim to reduce negative perceptions surrounding whistleblowers, raise awareness about their vital role in the fight for a fairer society and their right to protection, and highlight the role of the unified electronic reporting system (azdararir.am) as well as other reporting mechanisms.
