Assessment Report and Internal and External Anti-Corruption Communications Strategies

 

The report provides an assessment of the anti-corruption communications capabilities, practices and procedures of the Public Relations Departments (PRDs) of the Government of Armenia (GOAM), Ministries and other governmental agencies as they relate to anti-corruption communications.

The key findings of that assessment and information collected from interviews with ACSMC members served as the basis from which these Strategies were developed.
