European Union increases support to Azerbaijani government institutions
A new EU project has been launched aimed at enhancement of the capacity of Azerbaijan to make the best use of the EU assistance.

The 'Implementation of Twinning, TAIEX and Sigma Operations in Azerbaijan' (ITTSO II) project is to support the Ministry of Economic Development (MoED) as well the other government bodies and agencies of Azerbaijan applying for EU assistance.

'The launch of the ITTSO II project constitutes a good step for facilitation and further intensification of the contacts between the EU and Azerbaijan. It should help further deepening of relations between Azerbaijan and EU as it will serve to enhance the capacity of the Azerbaijani institutions and promote approximation of their working practices to those in the EU', said Head of the EU Delegation to Azerbaijan, Ambassador Roland Kobia.

The objectives of this 24-month long project are directed at a steady increase of a number of TAIEX, SIGMA and Twinning* projects; provision of the information and support on successful identification, preparation and implementation of those projects and events in Azerbaijan. It will increase awareness in the use of the EU instruments. The sustainability of the project will be ensured by increasing capacity of the Programme Administration office of the MoED to operate on its own in the future.
