The project on “Enhancing national capacities for effective prevention and fight against economic crime in Armenia” is one of the six projects which constitute the third phase of the European Union and the Council of Europe (EU/CoE) Partnership for Good Governance (PGG) programme interventions to support the Eastern Partnership countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine) to counter economic crime. 

The Project follows the actions implemented to strengthen institutional capacities to fight and prevent corruption in Armenia under the Second Phase of the Partnership for Good Governance (PGG II - 2019-2023). Building on previous achievements and taking into account the evolution of context and needs in Armenia, the proposed action under PGGIII intends to support further improvements of the legislative and institutional framework against corruption, money laundering and economic crime in Armenia, but also focus on ensuring the effectiveness of its implementation. 

The Project aims to support the Armenian authorities in strengthening the capacities of the country's anticorruption and anti-money laundering bodies, support the introduction and application of new mechanisms to combat corruption, and raise awareness on anticorruption and integrity.
