CLDP, in coordination with the Ministry of Economy in Armenia, launched a high-level capacity building webinar to serve as a forum for stakeholders from the public sector to address challenges to building a successful system of franchising in Armenia. This program explored the potential gaps in the legislative and regulatory framework of franchising as well as other challenges faced by prospective franchisees. This webinar is part of a multi-phase effort to promote franchise development and expansion in Armenia as well as raise Armenia’s visibility to international franchisors.
