The strategy of the Embassy funds portfolio is outlined in the Multi Annual Strategy Plan (MASP) of which you find a summary below. Furhermore, small funds in the framework of the Civil Society Transformation Programme (Matra). For information about the Matra programme please click here.

Bilateral Assistance

In view of the constituency relationship, stimulating good economic governance has been a priority in the support of the Netherlands to Armenia from the beginning. The Multi Annual Strategic Plan (MASP) as well as further elaboration of the Embassy’s strategies in 2006 point towards a need for a gradual shift of emphasis from good economic governance into good economic and good political governance.

Multilateral Assistance

In addition to the bilateral assistance managed by the Embassy, central budget lines from the Ministries (POBB, TMF / MFS, Stability Funds, etc) in The Hague have been committed to multilateral assistance and to (international) organisations.
