COMPASS in Armenia
Dr. Varazdat Karapetyan, participant in the 2010 LED Summer Academy.
CASE STUDY: Applying the Compass in Armenia - six months after a PACA exercise in Noyemberyan.
In October 2010 the first COMPASS has been deducted in Noyemberyan, Armenia. Dr. Varazdat Karapetyan (President of Gegharkunik CCI, Armenia) provides us with this interesting Case Study on the project.
In May 2010 a PACA exercise was conducted in Noyemberyan/Armenia. Four LED initiatives were identified and, during the following six months, many actions were undertaken in the community. The PACA follow up process suggested that actions in the community have to be aligned in the frames of midterm strategy. Also, new actions and actors were needed. Creating M&E indicators for participatory monitoring of the LED process appeared to be necessary.
On 10th October Gegharkunik CCI’s experts introduced the COMPASS tool. During the meeting on 21st October local players and national experts decided to organize a COMPASS workshop which took place on 29th October, 2010. The PACA local team, host organizations (Municipality and Community Union) and champions (Business Centre and Farmer’s Union) did successfully participate in the workshop.
For more details, please see the Case Study provided by Varazdat Karapetyan.
