Transparency in Armenian Environmental Governance

This project aims at indentifying challenges with and thereby enhancing the implementation of multilateral environmental treaties in the Republic of Armenia.

Through the project we put special emphasis on the UNECE Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters, the so-called Aarhus convention.

The project seeks to develop Armenia's capacities to fulfil its obligations by facilitating transfer of competence, experience as well as building of capacity on environmental governance among the national, regional and municipal governance sector and NGOs in Armenia.

The project further looks at how the obligations related to the Aarhus convention can be strengthened through legislative development.

The FNI team co-operate closely with Armenian authorities, international organisations, as well as academic institutions and NGOs in Armenia.

The project is a continuation of the project Environmental Management and Civil Society in Armenia, supported by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 2005-2008.
