The Minister for Europe and the Americas discussed reform and the importance of democratic institutions with Armenia's Minister for Foreign Affairs, Zohrab Mnatsakanyan, at the Munich Security Conference this month. Armenia was included in the Good Governance Fund for the first time in 2018. The Fund provides up to £3 million of support per year for programmes in Armenia that strengthen parliamentary oversight and judicial reform, and support economic reforms in areas such as taxation. The UK provided targeted funding to support preparations for the December 2018 parliamentary elections through the Electoral Support Project in Armenia, implemented by the UN Development Programme. Following the elections, British Embassy Yerevan continues to work closely with the Government of Armenia and other donors to identify areas where UK support can provide the greatest benefit.<\/p>"}
