Improving real estate information system
The State Committee of the Real Property Cadastre of Armenia has asked for support to improve their real estate information system. The Ministry of Foreign Affaires has agreed to fund a fact finding mission, which will be made during January. Based on the outcome of the mission, an application for a larger Norwegian funded project could be prepared.

Potential Norwegian support to land sector in Armenia

Statens kartverk has been approached by its sister organisation in Armenia with a request for assistance in applying for financial support from the Norwegian Government, as well as for collaboration in the execution of a subsequent project.

Armenia has established basic services reflecting the transition to private ownership in land and property, and has benefited from several foreign funded projects since its independence from the Soviet Union.

However, it still remains a big demand for improvements to registers, maps and adjacent services to the land sector.

In considering Norwegian support to this sector in Armenia, it seems as a first step most sensible to undertake a feasibility study. The study should clarify in detail the needs for and the content of a potential main project.

Therefore recently the Centre has submitted an application for funding a feasibility study aiming

  • to assess the need for foreign assistance to the land sector in Armenia and the relevance of Norwegian funded support
  • to determine the content, time schedule and budget for a main project that (potentially) could qualify for Norwegian grant funding.
It is expected that a potential main project should be in an area where Norway has comparative advantages and experiences. The potential role of Statens kartverk in a main project would be to administer the project - in line with the mechanism used for other Norwegian funded projects in this sector. If a main project will be funded, the bulk of deliveries of goods and services would come from private sector, based on tender.
