The NPD enjoys a high engagement level by officials in the Ministry of Environment and the State Committee of Water Systems. Armenian legislation on Integrated Water Resources Management is converging towards the EU acquis. The NPD process has a key role through the development of policy packages:

• A National Financing Strategy for rural Water Supply and Sanitation (WSS) was developed in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Armenia.
• A pilot River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) was developed for Marmarik river basin in line with principles of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD).
• Recommendations were developed to reform the current economic instruments for water management and introduce new ones.
