Detailed description of project

The project “Transactional e-Governance Development in Armenia” (EuropeAid/131-445/L/SER/AM) was to assist the Government of Armenia in its quest for better e-services for citizens. The project supported the development of e-Governance initiatives through legal framework improvement, and deployment of different e-Applications in Armenia to transform the way that Government interacts with its citizens and businesses, as well as to change the way that Government agencies interact with each other. The project included three basic components:
  • Transactional e-Governance Support - we reviewed the legal framework and the country’s e-Governance action plan
  • Training and awareness - we established an e-Governance e-Learning (distance) resource centre and supported an e-Services national awareness campaign
