As the EU LEAD4Shirak project concludes, it leaves behind strong local partnerships, empowered communities and a proven model for bottom-up development.
On 25 March, EU Ambassador to Armenia Vassilis Maragos took part in the project closing event, marking this important milestone together with national and local partners. Through the LEADER approach, municipalities, businesses and civil society have worked hand in hand to unlock local potential and deliver inclusive growth across Shirak laying a strong foundation for continued, locally driven development in the years ahead.
