The report presents an independent evaluation of UNDP’s 2021–2025 Country Programme in Armenia, structured around four outcome areas: sustainable and inclusive socio‑economic development, environmental sustainability and resilience, democratic governance and gender equality, and evidence‑based, SDG‑aligned policymaking and financing. The evaluation finds that UNDP has become a more capable and adaptive development partner, contributing to labour market and VET reforms, green transition and disaster risk management, police and justice reforms, human rights protection and women’s empowerment, while facing constraints related to resources, coordination and institutional uptake. It offers six strategic recommendations aimed at sharpening the focus on high‑impact initiatives, strengthening social inclusion and gender equality, enhancing learning and results tracking, improving development effectiveness and securing more sustainable financing for innovation.
