LATEST CONFERENCE Impact of the Global Crisis on Armenia: Short- and Long-run Perspectives
Welcome MESSAGE Welcome to the Armenian International Policy Research Group's Official Web Site.AIPRG is a non-partisan, non-political and non-profit public organization that promotes research in Armenia and among the Armenian Diaspora worldwide on issues pertaining to Armenia’s economic development and growth with the aim of consolidating existing expertise among researchers and practitioners of political science, law, and government affairs. The group also aspires to advance capacity building by providing opportunities for young professionals to develop their skills through research and interactions with experts in their respective fields. In addition to conducting research, AIPRG organizes conferences and seminars designed to promote discussions and initiate policy dialogue regarding important Armenian and Diaspora-related issues. By way of research and conferences, the Group collaborates with Development Agencies, International Financial Institutions, the donor community, individual researchers, and policy practitioners in order to achieve these goals and a greater understanding of the development issues related to Armenia and the Diaspora. Structure:The structure of AIPRG reflects the positions, interests, and individual constraints of each member. The Group is managed by Advisory and Executive Boards. The Advisory Board consists of renowned academics and policy practitioners who are willing to provide expertise and guidance with respect to the Group's overall direction and research agenda. The Executive Board, on the other hand, oversees AIPRG's day-to-day activities. It consists of active researchers and policy practitioners who coordinate the activities of the Group in his/her own area. Membership:Individual AIPRG members/fellows are accomplished professionals in the above mentioned fields who recognize the need to consolidate best-practice policy advice and research for the benefit of Armenia and the Diaspora. Although the Group primarily focuses on attracting members who specialize in economics, political science, law and international development, individuals with expertise in other fields relevant to public policy are encouraged to join. Sources of Financing:The Group will seek out independent sources of financing to cover the expenses related to research activities and the organization of conferences and seminars. Because AIPRG intends to have a pan-Armenian focus, any funding aimed at advancing the political agenda of any side involved (i.e., a political party or partisan association) will be rejected. Partnership:AIPRG intends to establish mutually beneficial partnerships with state agencies and other Armenian/Diaspora organizations who are interested in cooperation on the above mentioned issues regardless of their political views or affiliations. |

AIPRG Annual Conference After more than a decade of transition from planned to market-based economy, Armenia undertook important reforms and experienced high rates of economic growth in recent years. In order to sustain this growth and ensure further economic development, the country will need to design and implement second-generation reforms based on lessons learned during this transition and aimed at: (i) solidifying the achievements of the transition period; (ii) ensuring a fair and level playing field for private sector development; (iii) choosing strategic directions for the country’s export-oriented branches of the economy; and (iv) laying foundations for future development by strengthening institutions and modernizing social sectors, especially public education.
