EU-funded Business Advisory Services expands the number of internationally certified business consultants in Armenia.

A €5 million contribution from the European Union is helping the EBRD’s Business Advisory Services (BAS) to deliver business advice and consultancy services to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises and contribute to the development of sustainable local consultancy markets in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.

The EBRD’s BAS, launched in 1995, conducts activities to disseminate international best practices in all its countries of operations.

In a continuing effort to contribute to the development of a sustainable infrastructure of local business advisory services, to transfer international best practices to local consultants, and as part of the train-the-trainers principle, BAS in Armenia is improving consulting performance through tailor-made courses on Core Consultancy Skills and Professional Ethics delivered to consultants. Starting from March28, one such course will train 23 Armenian consultants in the Golden Tulip Yerevan Hotel.
