The last session of trainings for the municipality staff of Gyumri organized by LDA foundation Armenia, ALDA in cooperation with Counterpart Armenia took place on 1 and 2 April 2014.

Following the confirmed agenda the topics include community budget, service provision, PR and participatory and transparent governance. The participants again displayed very active and participatory behavior showing their team member capacities and strengths. Following the methodology of the first phase at the very beginning of the sessions the trainers distributed quizzes to the participants to check their level of knowledge. At the end of the sessions the same quizzes were given to be filled in to measure the differences before and after the sessions and assess the effectiveness and productivity of the trainings. Role games and team assignments were part of the chosen training methodology.

The only challenge the participants face in this phase was the community budget session, as the topic was very complicated and inclusive and hard to be absorbed by the employees from non-financial departments that have nothing with financial and budget activities in their everyday working procedure.
The training courses were wrapped up with the handing of certificates. Lusine Aleksandryan, the director of LDA foundation Armenia, presented and thanked the organizations with the assistance of which the trainings took place and were of great success.

Mr. Chartaryan, the department acting head of projects and analytics, gave the closing speech once more mentioning the importance of these courses for the municipality employees. He expressed his deep gratitude to the organizers for that useful initiation and stated the possible continuity of the trainings in future.
