The simplified budget of the social protection sector for 2026 is an analytical publication intended for public at large, aimed at increasing interest in the sector and strengthening public oversight. The objective of this initiative in addition to raising public awareness is to promote effective collaboration between civil society and the public sector, ensuring open, transparent, and informed discussions about the social policy.

This  simplified budge has been developed with the financial support of the European Union within the framework of a sub-grant provided under the “Budgets for Citizens” action implemented by the Armenian Lawyers’ Association, in cooperation with partners “Economic Development and Research Center” (EDRC) NGO and “Agora Central Europe” NGO (Czech Republic). It has been implemented by the “Business and Education Association” NGO within the framework of the “Implementation of Monitoring and Analysis of the Budget of Social Assistance Sector” project. The “Business and Education Association” NGO is responsible for the content, and it does not necessarily reflect the views of the European Union.
