Armenia has faced numerous challenges in recent years, including the COVID-19 pandemic and clashes along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border and inside Armenia. Hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh Region resulted in over 115,000 people refugees fleeing into Armenia in one week in September 2023.

The influx led the Â鶹ÊÓƵ (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) to provide assistance, including shelter, food, and psychosocial support, to refugees and vulnerable communities.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ's efforts in Armenia go beyond immediate relief, focusing on resilient solutions to enhance food security and support local farmers, empower communities, and build government capacities. We prioritize food security with a resilient ¡¯farm to fork¡¯ approach. 

One initiative is the Food Card, which provides cash for food at selected stores for vulnerable people. This activity will be handed over to the Government at a future point. 

The school meals programme in Armenia was nationalized in 2022. Â鶹ÊÓƵ will support the expansion of school meals and continue strengthening links to rural development. Â鶹ÊÓƵ will support capacity-strengthening efforts to launch a school-meal programme in the capital, Yerevan.
