    ArmInfo. Within the framework of the European Neighbourhood Policy
    (ENP) initiative, a consortium lead by MWH Global with TNS Opinion
    and Mostra Communication implements the project "Opinion Polling and
    Research" (OPPOL) in 15 ENP countries including Armenia from March
    2009 to March 2011.

    The press-service of Ameriabank told ArmInfo that fhe first stage
    of the project is a Baseline Survey of Opinion Leaders from May to
    August 2009.

    Owning to the operational expertise in similar projects, Ameria
    was entrusted by the Consortium to implement the baseline studies
    in Armenia.

    The general objective of the OPPOL project is: to generate better
    information about the sources of information of different target groups
    in the ENPI (European Neighborhood Policy Instruments) countries, as
    well as about their awareness, understanding and perception of the EU
    and the role it plays in their respective countries; to test messages
    aiming at getting the overall EU policies and actions across or shift
    opinion; to provide a reliable research basis for the EU-related
    communication and information activities in beneficiary countries.

    Currently Ameria implements the Baseline Studies. Seven categories of
    Opinion leaders (top experts and leaders in certain areas whose opinion
    is of public importance) have been identified. Within these categories
    100 respondents are chosen, including well known politicians, high
    level state officials, top managers from the private sector, media
    professionals, religious leaders, NGO representatives and scientists.

    The activities of this stage include sampling, participation in
    development of survey instruments, testing of questionnaires, training
    of interviewers, field work, quality control and reporting. All the
    interviews were conducted using face-to-face method. Chosen methodology
    of research, thorough preparatory activities, professionalism of
    interviewers and management staff, as well as extensive experience in
    conduction of such assignments ensure the most effective implementation
    process and achievement of the highest quality results within the
    limited time frame.

    The scope of the OPPOL project activities cover opinion polls and
    opinion research, expert group research (through focus groups)
    and summative evaluations of the ENP awareness activities will be
    implemented through the EU initiatives. Based on the evaluations
    the Project will provide strategic, analytical support to the
    communication activities of the European Commission, its Delegations
    in ENPI countries including Armenia, ENPI regional projects and
    other communication partners. This should serve to better inform
    target audiences in beneficiary countries by improving the EU-related
    communication and information activities on the basis of reliable
    research.
