Armenia
The Challenge
USAID's strategy for Armenia aims to consolidate recent macroeconomic reform and governance achievements. The Armenian economy must continue growth of 10% in order to further reduce the 32% poverty rate. The public, however, has become disillusioned with market-oriented democratic reforms, as there remains a domineering executive branch, inept governmental institutions, and a lack of independent media. Continued closure of the Turkish and Azerbaijani borders due to the continuing Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and foreign energy dependence prohibit local markets from diversifying beyond domestic needs. Corruption remains pervasive, stifling political and economic progress. In response, USAID/Armenia works to: expand employment opportunities; secure access to energy and water resources; ensure civic participation and more transparent governance; increase the utilization of high-quality primary healthcare; and improve social protection for the vulnerable.
