Resumen
Descripción
Agriculture is the main driver of the economic growth of Armenia. The country is prone to natural disaster, which pose serious threats to food security, rural livelihoods and agricultural development in the country. In an attempt to respond to the multiple challenges in the agricultural and rural sectors, the Government adopted the Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development Strategy of the Republic of Armenia 2010-2020 and its corresponding Action Plan, which place emphasis on both short-term (food security and productivity increase) and long-term goals (sustainable growth and competitiveness). Given the requirement for capacity development at policy, institutional and individual levels (both technical and soft skills), the Government realized the need for external support through the European Union’s European Neighbourhood Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development programme.
