Back EU and Council of Europe continue supporting Armenia to implement reform priorities

The European Union, the Council of Europe and the Armenian partners and beneficiaries have emphasised the importance of the Partnership for Good Governance programme in aligning Armenia‘s reform efforts with European standards in areas of strengthening justice, preventing and countering economic crime, and promoting equality and non-discrimination.

During the third local steering committee meeting, the participants welcomed the progress and tangible results achieved in the framework of the three country-specific projects. They also recognised the added value of the regional activities of the Programme focusing on economic crime, equality and non-discrimination, and women's access to justice, as complementary to country specific interventions.

As a result of the meeting, the participants agreed on the priority activities for the year 2025 engaging public authorities and civil society organisations.

The Partnership for Good Governance provides targeted support to Armenia, facilitating progress in key areas of governance. This support builds on the achievements of previous phases of the EU and Council of Europe joint programme.

The Council of Europe is the continent’s leading human rights organisation, with 46 member states, including Armenia. All our member states are party to the European Convention on Human Rights, which is the cornerstone of human rights protection in Europe.

The Council of Europe Office in Yerevan, represents the Secretary General in Armenia. It closely co-operates with national authorities supporting the implementation of statutory obligations to the Council of Europe by Armenia through co-operation projects.

The Council of Europe works for you. We want to give visibility to the role, standards and work of the Council of Europe in its member states, to show how Council of Europe membership has helped achieve particular results or changes. Our aim, through a variety of events and actions, is to highlight ways in which the Council of Europe’s action has helped improve the life of individuals and contributed to improving people’s enjoyment of fundamental rights.

Whether it is the impact of the European Convention on Human Rights at national level, or the Council of Europe's work in many fields, such as working to abolish the death penalty or to ensure freedom of expression and freedom of the media, or to adress online and technology-facilitated violence against women through the Istanbul Convention and Budapest Convention on Cybercrime, the Council of Europe has achieved a lot since 1949.
