Chaired by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, the draft strategy for public administration reform was discussed in Government. Opening the meeting, Nikol Pashinyan noted that the public administration reform is very important.

“Our goal is to ensure that the citizens of the Republic of Armenia experience as little discomfort as possible in relations with the public administration system. To solve this problem, we must make the public administration system more attractive for highly skilled professionals who can live up to the task in all aspects. On the other hand, we have set ourselves the task of ensuring higher efficiency in public spending. The ultimate goal is to create a business-friendly environment and make people’s life better through a citizen-centric public administration system,” Nikol Pashinyan said.

The meeting discussed issues related to the development of policies in the areas of public administration, human resource management, the provision of public services, accountability and institutional development.

The Premier emphasized the importance of establishing clear-cut assessment criteria and instructed those responsible to continue developing the strategy.
