The Ministry of Territorial Administration and Development supports the targeted and efficient solution to this issue which has been considerably facilitated by the establishment of Citizen Offices in various municipalities across the country. Thanks to the “one stop-shop” principle and the application of electronic tools, the COs notably improve the quality and efficiency of service delivery and offer the citizens better access to them. The development of the Handbook has been supported by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in consideration of the experience of the COs operating in 29 municipalities of 9 marzes of Armenia, as well as the international practice of administrative service delivery on local level. The Handbook presents different aspects of establishing and running COs and can be useful for Local Self-Government bodies as a guide to establish new COs and for the existing ones to improve their operation. I am confident that the information presented in this Handbook and the step-by-step approach of CO establishment will positively contribute to the improvement of the efficiency of service delivery and facilitate communication between the LSGs and the citizens.
