In 2014, the Government of the Republic of Armenia has launched the Territorial and Administrative Reform of Armenia (TARA). Under the auspices of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), a number of development partners have gathered to define and implement a common agenda of supporting TARA. In 2019, the second Phase of the Program was launched with the overall objective of strengthening of accountability, effectiveness, efficiency and inclusiveness of the local self-government system in Armenia in a regionally and socially balanced manner.
