Exciting news from Yerevan! Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan and USAID Armenia Mission Director John Allelo have just signed an amendment to the grant agreement between Armenia and the United States, skyrocketing USAID assistance from $120,000,000 to $250,000,000. Not only will this financial boost benefit Armenia, but it will also expand joint programs in crucial sectors such as disaster risk management, cybersecurity, and more.
According to Grigoryan, this partnership goes beyond just money; it promotes democratic values, generates innovative ideas, and cultivates a strong business culture. These projects are instrumental in implementing reforms and improving the quality of life for the people of Armenia. Grigoryan expressed gratitude to the United States for their continued support in Armenia’s ambitious reform agenda.
Allelo emphasized USAID’s commitment to the partnership, stating that by increasing support and broadening programs, they are dedicated to helping Armenia thrive. Collaborating with the Armenian government and ministries is key in achieving shared goals and success.
