In total, we brought together 38 partner organizations as part of the Inter-Agency Response Plan (IARP), mobilizing more than 46 million USD to serve the 90,000 people displaced from the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict area in the aftermath of military hostilities. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the UN’s Socio-Economic Response and Recovery Plan (SERRP) partners leveraged together over 33 million USD to mitigate the socio-economic impacts of the pandemic in Armenia.
Key Development Partners of the UN Development System in Armenia
In the spirit of SDG 17, the UNCT in Armenia relies on strong partnerships and cooperation. Partnership with the GoA, specifically with the offices of the two Deputy Prime Ministers, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, all line ministries, and local governments are instrumental in supporting the implementation of Agenda 2030 in Armenia. Key national partners also include civil society organizations (CSO), international finance institutions (IFI), development partners, private sector, academia, and international non-governmental organizations (INGO).
Following the UN global reform, more coherent UN funding mechanisms have played an increasingly strategic role, which enabled the pooling of resources and bringing together of both development and humanitarian financing.
