YEREVAN—Armenia-based Ameria Advisory has become the country’s first company to implement projects internationally with LOT 7. What is so great about it? How will this impact Armenia’s overall visibility globally? How big of a win is this?

 

As a LOT-7 member, Ameria will have the right to work with the world’s leading advisory firms through consulting projects in various countries of the world, with that increasing Armenia’s visibility globally.

The contractual projects will deal with a multitude of issues such as human rights protection (social, economic, cultural, political, civil), support in democratisation (prevention of social and political conflicts, electoral processes, support to independent, free and economically viable mass media, freedom of speech), reinforcement of rule of law and justice (judicial reforms and improvement of penal regime), public administration and civil service reforms, increase of the role of civil society, combat against organised crime and terrorism as part of domestic policies and more.
