Yerevan Municipality presents action plan for 2025-2028 as part of  the Global Partnership Platform

ArmInfo. The Mayor's office has presented an action plan for 2025-2028 as part of the Global Partnership Platform, of which Yerevan has been a member since May  2022.

During the Council of Elders meeting at the Yerevan City Hall on June  24, Advisor to the Mayor of Yerevan Anneta Babayan said that as a  result of over 200 proposals gathered from citizens, 4 main areas of  action were identified. They are quite ambitious and comprehensive in  their content.

Specifically, she noted that these actions focus on the full  implementation of participatory and program budgeting systems, which  will enhance the transparency and accountability of the city  authorities. The next areas  to address will be the process of  full-fledged digital transformation and the launch of the "Model  Yerevan" project. No details about the latter project were provided  at the meeting.

"We plan to complete all the work by 2028," the mayor's adviser  emphasized. She also mentioned that over 70 countries and more than  100 local governments are members of the Global Partnership Platform.  This platform is closely aligned with the UN Sustainable Development  Goals (open governance, accountability, transparency, inclusiveness,  institutional development and reform).

Note that the Yerevan Council of Elders approved the adoption of the  presented action plan for 2025-2028 with 42 votes in favor,  while 13  Council members abstained.
