Armenia - Management Instruments

Action 5 - Strengthen the Technical Commission of Water Systems Operation and Maintenance

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 enhancing the efficiency of the Operation and Maintenance of Water Systems , by restoring the activities of the technical commission and the supporting team, regulating working procedures and establishing institutional development incentives. Furthermore, it aims at implementing relevant structural change for the inclusion of this subdivision into the Water Committee.
