The pathway towards more equitable opportunities for all inevitably goes through the promotion of inclusive green growth. In 2021, the UN continued investing in green and sustainable interventions to increase women’s and men’s capacities for sustainable livelihoods and enhance opportunities for decent job creations across the country. Many interventions under this outcome were driven also by post-COVID-19 recovery effort, targeting specific vulnerable groups.

One specific focus of activities was advancing opportunities for female entrepreneurship. Margarita Muradyan was among the UN partners who emerged as an innovator. She turned her house in Kalavan into a small rural restaurant, combining technological solutions and the concept of permaculture. With maximum exposure and use of sunlight now possible, Margarita aims to collect 85-90% of products from the area and grow her own resources in a way to reduce the damage to the nature.
