Excited to share some key takeaways from our 8th #StakeholdersMeeting, where Armenia’s civil society organizations (CSOs) took a deep dive into the draft 2025 social protection budget! 💼 Engaging presentations by Susanna Yeghiazaryan and Karine Harutyunyan sparked dynamic conversations around crucial issues such as budget shifts in the social protection sector, the growing importance of non-financial indicators in budget analysis, and how CSOs can actively shape public finance decisions. With the co-facilitation of MOLSA Secretary General Samvel Muradyan, CSO representatives also explored MOLSA’s innovative triage system for emergency situations and reviewed the evaluation results of the domestic violence prevention budget program. These collaborative discussions are driving changes in public financial management and social protection strategies. A special shoutout to our MOLSA colleagues Eline Santrosyan, Sophie Bostanchyan, and Garnik Nalbandyan for their invaluable contributions! 🚀Looking forward to building on this momentum in future sessions—stay tuned! #PublicFinanceManagement #CivilSociety #StakeholderEngagement #BudgetProcess #SocialProtection #MOLSA #PFM

We can achieve this target by having the right trade regulations in place, streamlining border procedures to minimize delays, eliminating NTBs that are a high cost to traders, automating trade procedures to speed-up clearance procedures to improve efficiency and increase transparency” Chief of Party Jackie Zizane: "Traders doing business across borders to and from Rwanda continue to face challenges of frequently emerging NTBs. It is imperative that we put mechanisms in place to ensure smooth and seamless flow of goods. I am optimistic that we the Launch of this Activity today, much will be achieved through strong partnership with Private sector and concerned government Institutions" Rwanda Revenue Authority Commissioner General Mr. Ronald Niwenshuti: "As the Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA), we are fully committed to the success of this project. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to USAID, Rwanda for their continued support and partnership. This project is not only crucial but also timely, as it addresses key challenges that have long hindered trade and economic growth. By streamlining trade processes and removing barriers, we are confident it will enhance Rwanda's competitiveness and open up new opportunities for our traders" Ministry of Trade and Industry Acting Director General Cassien Karangwa: "I urge all stakeholders to remain actively engaged, collaborative, and solution oriented.
