The Guidelines aim to support the RA NA deputies, standing and ad hoc committees, factions and the staff in the process of acquiring professional consultancy services from organizations and individuals in order to get advisory opinion on NA draft laws, international agreements, NA conclusions, decisions, statements and addresses.

This Guidebook has been developed within the framework of “Strengthening the capacity of the National Assembly in strategic political debate and communication” project. The project is implemented by the International Center for Human Development nongovernmental organization within the framework of UK’s Good Governance Fund, with support of the British people.

The translation of the Guidelines into English has been made within the UNDP “Modern Parliament for a Modern Armenia” project, co-implemented with the OxYGen Foundation, the International Center for Human Development, and the Westminster Foundation for Democracy, in cooperation with the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia. The project is funded by the United Kingdom's Good Governance Fund and the Government of Sweden.
