The trainers, which were trained in the framework of "Alliance for Better City Governance” project regularly impart their knowledge to their students and pupils. In the framework of the project dozens of trainers have been trained.

On January 31 in “Ani” and “Red Hat” kindergardens in Vanadzor environmental lessons for the pupils were held. Through the games and didactic materials, the trainers imparted their knowledge to the children on the topics of wise use of nature and on preserving nature.

The aim of the “Alliance for Better City Governance” project is to promote sustainable and green management of the urban governance of Vanadzor and Gyumri (Covenant signatories) through improvement of policies, procedures and services in this area.

With the financial support of the EU, the both cities, assisted by their European partner city Pila from Poland, are embarking on a process of strengthening urban governance. This will be done by creating institutional capacities to address some of the priority gaps in governance and by bringing European experience and knowledge closer to the Armenian context.

Through the project, Vanadzor and Gyumri will be supported to develop Geographical Information Systems that is vital for urban planning. With a unified system for data storage and management, city managers will access the information they need immediately for making quality decisions related to infrastructure, utility systems, communication networks, spacial planning, environmental protection, etc. In developing this important system, the European experience will be sought.

Vanadzor and Gyumri municipalities will pioneer in Armenia in introducing smart public transportation solutions by establishing electronic ticket validation system and importing the first 10 environmentally friendly electric buses. This will help cities meet their commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Partner city Pila of Poland will make practical knowledge in this sphere available to Armenian counterparts.

The project will support the two target cities and nearby communities to design and offer their citizens a greener environment. This involves support with upgrading waste management services, as well as promoting development of infrastructures for effective waste recycling. Another priority for the project is to focus on raising awareness and promoting practices such as waste separation and recycling.
