The Asian Development Bank requested assistance in the preparation of the energy sector assessment, strategies, and roadmaps (ASR) to better harmonize ADB's support program and project planning in Armenia. ADB needed an analysis of energy sector performance, challenges and opportunities and an assessment of the Government's strategy for the energy sector. In addition, ADB wanted an analysis of its sector experience and assistance program, and the construction of a sector results framework which would highlight the causal relationship between current constraints, challenges and sector targets, so as to better identify areas for future ADB input.
