Time for change

 I have been using Blogger since 2010 considering that the content was far more important than the means, but the limitations of the platform have finally caught with me and I have decided to finally take the long delayed step of moving to a better platform such as WordPress. This means that for the moment the old content will be located here in Blogger while I find a way to migrate the content. From now on I’ll publish on Wordpress (https://goinginternationalinarchives.wordpress.com/ ) hoping that you get a better experience with less limitations. Take care out there!

Background

Modern Parliament for a Modern Armenia (MAP) project is designed to strengthen the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia (NA) in its new and fundamentally enhanced role within the governance system in carrying out key functions of law-making, oversight, and representation. With a long-term goal of enhancing the overall effectiveness of the NA as a policy-making institution, the project is designed to support the newly elected NA to take advantage of the modern governance tools and mechanisms that are focusing on improved quality, transparency and inclusiveness of parliamentary operations and enhanced parliamentary capacity for gender-responsive policymaking.

In the 2nd stage the NA selects the model for the operational implementation of the Research and Training Center.  Information management is the collection and management of information from one or more sources and the distribution of that information to one or more audiences and in this case for the new Research and Training Centre of the NA.
