Armenia

Armenia, a landlocked country in the Caucasus region, has faced numerous challenges since gaining independence in 1991, among them territorial disputes, military conflicts, as well as socio-economic and political challenges amidst high rates of emigration. Most recently, the country suffered from the repercussions surrounding the long-standing conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh.

The political landscape in Armenia is marked by a struggle for stability and governance reforms, with ongoing tensions influencing both domestic policies and international relations.  The Armenian government has stated that it aims for peace and regional stability, while domestically it wishes to strengthen democracy and the rule of law.

The Armenian government has been working to navigate these challenges, and efforts to foster closer ties with the European Union and other international partners reflect Armenia’s strategic priorities. The wide terrain of civil society actors within Armenia also has a role to play, but they need support to build their capacity.
