Summary
In 2022, increasingly difficult economic circumstances led to an increase in the number of people struggling to meet basic food and nutrition needs. Rising poverty and food insecurity affected one-quarter of Armenian households. Factors contributing to this grim situation include high unemployment rates and the corresponding decline in household purchasing power, continually rising food and housing prices, infrastructure damage, and an influx of migrants. WFP Armenia remains committed to saving and changing lives and made significant efforts to deliver food and livelihood assistance, as well as further develop local communities in 2022. WFP continued its cooperation with various partners to develop sustainable food systems, including expanding food value chains, enhancing national capacities for school feeding, and improving social protection for food security. WFP Armenia provided direct assistance to 34,138 people in 2022, with women and girls making up 48 percent of those assisted, including 1,861 persons with disabilities. The number of people assisted in Armenia in 2022 was less than the previous year as the focus shifted to projects that bring a complex impact on food security and pave the pathway for long-term changes beyond immediate food assistance. As the implementation of school feeding was fully transferred to the Government, all previously supported children were included in the National School Feeding Programme.
