The ‘Developing Inclusive Oversight of Security’ (DIOS) project in Armenia runs from December 2021 to December 2023 and is funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The project seeks to contribute to a more inclusive process of governance whereby the Armenian Parliament is at the centre of democratic oversight of security.

The project, that will be implemented together with the Armenian Parliament and local civil society actors, consists of a research and capacity-building component. Over the course of the project policy-oriented research is developed through assessment and policy labs with local stakeholders. Capacity-building is foreseen through a series of targeted training courses for parliamentary staff as well as other oversight actors, including representatives of civil society.
