Armenia, as a Country involved in ENP may expect Sigma assistance in priority areas, such as financial control, civil service and public procurement, as well as in other various activities.

The Programme Administration Agency (PAO) established within the Ministry of Economy of Republic of Armenia is a public body responsible for coordination of SIGMA support. Proposals for SIGMA support drafted by Armenian Public Bodies/Institutions should be sent to PAO for further evaluation. After consultations with Beneficiary (if needed) PAO submits proposal to SIGMA for approval. PAO is also responsible for monitoring of on-going SIGMA projects as well as for evaluation of SIGMA projects results. Please do not hesitate to contact PAO for any advice you may need to apply for SIGMA support.

Beneficiaries of SIGMA project should submit progress reports to PAO every 6 months of project implementation as well as the final report after project completion.
