This report presents the findings of a 2001 follow-up household survey of citizens' participation in nine Armenian cities. The survey builds on a similar 2000 baseline household survey, commissioned by USAID and the Government of the Republic of Armenia through the Local Government Assistance Program. The second follow-up household survey reported here was conducted in order to determine changes during the past year in citizen access to and participation in local government, to assess changes in levels of information about local government, to assess changes in attitudes and levels of satisfaction toward local government, and to assess changes in information sources used by citizens.

From January 2000 through May 2003 the Urban Institute (UI) implemented the Armenia Local Government Project (LGP) on behalf of USAID. This report highlights UI's activities under this project, which comprised four major components: government decentralization and association strengthening; local government capacity and service delivery improvement; citizen participation; and condominium association development and strengthening. This report details key impacts, lessons learned, and future directions for each component of the project.
