Armenia - Management Instruments

Action 10 - Carry out a nation-wide water balance assessment

With the support of UNDP (through the GoAL WaterS programme) and GWP, a multi-stakeholder platform was created in Armenia to work on creating an enabling environment for the Government of Armenia to promote and implement the country’s commitments to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The goal was to design long-lasting, efficient mechanisms for implementation monitoring of SDG 6 targets. The result of this process was a series of actions to improve SDG 6 capacity in the country.

This particular action focuses on reassessing the country water balance by developing more dynamic software models for the calculation of water and water economy balances, which is necessary due to climate change, as well as increase of anthropogenic pressures on the water resources.
