Handbook Establishment and Commissioning of Citizen Offices In Ministry of Territorial Administration and Development of the Republic of Armenia HANDBOOK ESTABLISHMENTESTABLISHMENT ANDAND COMMISSIONINGCOMMISSIONING OFOF CITIZENCITIZEN OFFICESOFFICES ININ MUNICIPALITIESMUNICIPALITIES OFOF THETHE REPUBLICREPUBLIC OFOF ARMENIAARMENIA Preface In parallel with the development of local self-government system in Armenia, the continuous improvement of the quality of service delivery is important. 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.

  • Shirak Guidebook
    Wuthering Heights of Shirak -the Land of Steppe and Sky YYerevanerevan 22013013 1 Facts About Shirak FOREWORD Mix up the vast open spaces of the Shirak steppe, the wuthering wind that sweeps through its heights, the snowcapped tops of Mt. Aragats and the dramatic gorges and sparkling lakes of Akhurian River. Sprinkle in the white sheep fl ocks and the cry of an eagle. Add churches, mysterious Urartian ruins, abundant wildlife and unique architecture. Th en top it all off with a turbulent history, Gyumri’s joi de vivre and Gurdjieff ’s mystical teaching, revealing a truly magnifi cent region fi lled with experi- ences to last you a lifetime. However, don’t be deceived that merely seeing all these highlights will give you a complete picture of what Shirak really is. Dig deeper and you’ll be surprised to fi nd that your fondest memories will most likely lie with the locals themselves. You’ll eas- ily be touched by these proud, witt y, and legendarily hospitable people, even if you cannot speak their language. Only when you meet its remarkable people will you understand this land and its powerful energy which emanates from their sculptures, paintings, music and poetry. Visiting the province takes creativity and imagination, as the tourist industry is at best ‘nascent’. A great deal of the current tourist fl ow consists of Diasporan Armenians seeking the opportunity to make personal contributions to their historic homeland, along with a few scatt ered independent travelers. Although there are some rural “rest- places” and picnic areas, they cater mainly to locals who want to unwind with hearty feasts and family chats, thus rarely providing any activities.
