Project Information
OPM leads the consortium implementing the Armenia Regional Development Project (ARDEP). The purpose of ARDEP is to increase the capacity of two regional administrations (marzpetarans) of Armenia to develop and implement pro-poor programmes and to influence national policy. ARDEP is building the capacity of the Marzpetarans (Gegharkunik and Tavush) to assess poverty and pro-poor development needs, and to design and implement pro-poor Regional Development Plans (RDPs) with the participation of local communities and civil society. The first phase was a design phase leading to government approval of RDPs for the two marzes in 2005. During the second phase of the project ARDEP will support the marzpetarans in RDP implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and linkages to national policy.
