“Government Budgets”
& PFM Reforms
are in our special focus
It is obvious, the government budgets are the most potent instrument of any government in carrying out its policies, realizing its goals and driving the socio-economic development in the country.
The EDRC supported introduction and application of budget analysis and budget monitoring in Armenia. Our first “budget project” we launched back in 2002, in collaboration with Oxfam GB and supported by DFID – the “Armenia Budget Analyses Project” (2002-2006). The project was aimed at analysing the central government and local self-government budgets, raising public awareness of budgetary policies and financial literacy.
