The study is carried out by the team of international and local experts led by Network of Associations of Local Authorities of South-East Europe (NALAS) The assignment includes both a desk study and on-site activities such as interviews and focus group discussions. As part of the NALAS expert team leading the assessment, two international experts—Mr Elton Stafa and Mr Kelmend Zajazi - in the week of June 16-20, 2025 visited Armenia for the first mission aimed at analysing the current fiscal framework, identifying systemic gaps, and developing practical recommendations for a more efficient and accountable model of fiscal decentralisation.
During the working talks, ideas were exchanged regarding the European experience related to political and administrative decentralization.
From 18 to 24 August, the DeaLoG project, together with the Communities Association of Armenia, held four regional workshops on fiscal decentralisation — in Aghveran, Dilijan, Aparan and Goris. Community heads and officials responsible for finance, along with representatives of the relevant ministries, gathered around the table for dialogue to discuss the progress of the reform and the challenges facing communities.
